In 2025, David Elms enjoyed an outstanding and critically acclaimed run of his show, 'David Elms Describes a Room,' at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. The show garnered multiple four- and five-star reviews, including high praise from THE GUARDIAN, which called it: "An object(less) lesson in the transcendent power of collective imagining...a lovely, skilful and understated hour of extempore comedy." https://www.davidelmsdescribesaroom.com/ Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-robert-lane-creative-careers-podcast-1.
