REVIEW: Accidental Avoidance Training Workshop: Intermediate, Headgate Theatre Accidental Avoidance Training Workshop: Intermediate ✭✭✭✭

Paul T Davies reviews Accidental Avoidance Training Workshop: Intermediate at the Headgate Theatre as part of the Colchester Fringe Festival.


Accidental Avoidance Training Workshop: Intermediate.
Headgate Theatre: Colchester Fringe Festival.

An established Fringe Favourite, Ian Crawford’s Heath and Safety lectures are becoming something of a legend here at the Colchester Fringe Festival. We are trained, at an intermediate level, on how to deal with any unexpected hazards that we may encounter… unexpectedly.  This is the exact opposite of death by PowerPoint, this lecture is fun, interactive, and wonderfully silly.

However, you will know how to deal with a rampaging rhino, good to know as Colchester has a zoo, how to avoid an unidentified flying cutlery item, (UFCI), and, most informative of all, wheelie bin entrapment.  The painful video shown does demonstrate how real this threat is!

It’s wonderfully silly and a perfect tonic for our troubled times, with fun audience interaction and sing-along, and Ian, despite the potentially boring nature of health and safety, sends the subject up perfectly, and is a convivial host. A wonderful hour of fun, catch him if you can!
