Smile: The Story of Charlie Chaplin

From the award-winning creators of 'The Ukulele Man' comes a brand new physical comedy show about the life of Charlie Chaplin!

He was America's darling, he was the most famous man in the world... and then he was exiled. This is the story of the Little Tramp and the man who created him.


You will laugh, you will cry, you will be on the edge of your seat… and then you will fall off BECAUSE IT’S JUST THAT DARNED GOOD!

Created and performed by Marcel Cole.
