Smile: The Story of Charlie Chaplin - Newcastle Fringe


Hailed as 'one of the most dazzling performers to emerge on the fringe circuit', Marcel Cole gives a 'stunning one-hour treatment' to the extraordinary life and career of the greatest physical comedian of all time.

'Smile' is a one man physical comedy play about the life and films of Charlie Chaplin. Using mime, physical comedy and projected story cards, the show chronicles Chaplin's life from childhood poverty to meteoric worldwide fame and from political controversy in the US to his eventual exile in Switzerland.
