“ENGAGING WINNER”-Stuff NZ

Trent H Baumann is an underground sensation on the international festival circuit having toured to over twenty countries. His left-of-centre style and trademark one-liners have seen him nominated “Most Original Comedy” at the Edinburgh Fringe for the increasingly prestigious Malcolm Hardee Award, appear on The Project (AUS) and write, direct and star in the short film Coffeehead for ABC2 TV.

In All The Atoms In The Universe Really Made My Day prepare for an astonishing ride exploring the greater universe by rocketing through revelations on imaginary friends, carb-only diets and the dark matter of being an artist. Laugh like you mean it at an internationally-acclaimed performance about everything and everything else, from the creator of The Birdmann and the winner of “Best Show” at the Wellington Comedy Awards.
