Don Toberman – Ping Pong Champ blends sports parody, physical comedy, and heroic drama in a wildly entertaining performance.As something new from Comedy kiss, we're bringing you comedy theatre in the form of "Don Toberman - Ping Pong Champ".
We've one simple reason for this. It was simply the funniest thing I saw at the 2025 Edinburgh Fringe Festival. My stomach hurt so bad and everyone left the show grinning from ear to ear. So buy your tickets at come play ping pong with Don Toberman, you won't regret it.
An award-winning (The Wee Review and more) showdown where Don Toberman—played by Gaulier-trained performer Chase Brantley - takes on the entire audience in a pantomime ping-pong championship for glory.
It’s absurd, athletic, sensitive and totally unhinged. Sports parody, physical comedy, and heroic pathos collide in one epic match.
“Simply one of the funniest shows I’ve ever seen” - The Real Chrisparkle
“A sweaty, seductive and very silly joyride” - Broadway Baby
The show follows the journey of Don Toberman as the height of his ping-pong career trying to become the worlds most decorated ping-pong player. While things initially look bright, his newest sponsor Bolt Booster Energy Drink quickly takes things off the rails.
As Don stares potential defeat in the eyes, the audience begins to absurdly confront the cost of greatness, darkness of winning, and the existential burden of loss. It’s a wildly hilarious fever-dream you won’t forget.
