Fish Tales: Real stories, Reel Magic!
Part memoir, part comedy magic , all from the heart - Fish Tales reels you in with the true story of a high school guidance counsellor who follows the advice he has given students for years; follow your passion. With mind reading, memory feats, sleight of hand and a fishing line that catches more than laughs, this one-man show explores adoption, inspiration and the magic of second acts. From the guidance office to the Fringe stage, Rob Fishbaum, also known as Fish the Magish, proves that its never too late to chase wonder.

Sensory description
Fish Tales is a vibrant, story-driven show that blends heartfelt monologue, audience interaction and visual magic with carefully crafted sound and lighting cues. The stage is warmly lit to evoke nostalgia and intimacy, shifting to colourful highlights during magic moments. Sound effects include the gentle burble of water and subtle musical underscoring that cues emotional or magical beats. The show is heavy on spoken narrative, with dialogue and story telling that guide the audience through memories, revelations and humour.
Blind or vision impaired audiences will need to rely on audiences reactions to appreciate the show without being able to see the visual magic. For deaf or hard of hearing audiences, the visual magic is central, but because most of the humour and heart is embedded in the spoken storytelling, this show may not be fully appreciated. It is the words and connections-not large physical actions that drive the show.
