Get Your Coats On: EdFringe Talk - Kevin James Doyle
Tell us about your show.
I have been working as a writer and comedian in New York City for over a decade and that entire time I have also been working as a chess instructor. I have taught over 6500 chess lessons and so this show is bringing together my 3 jobs in an exciting way. To use comedy and storytelling to teach the audience about chess and take them on an adventure, because this story is pretty wild, is a dream come true. I have been developing the show in small work in progress shows around a chess board, in comedy clubs around the US and a short run at the Soho Playhouse in New York City but it’s all to get ready for Fringe. And after Fringe I’d love to perform it anywhere will people will have me. Chess is a universally beloved game and this is a universal story that anyone can learn from and laugh at.
