This show belongs to the FRINGE WORLD Festival 2026 season. This season is now over.

Posed like a conductor at centre a man in a black turtleneck is surrounded by multiple semi-transparent versions of himself in different characters layered behind him. Large title text reads “Casey Filips – Virtuoso,” with award badges, “Soho Theatre” branding, and comedy accolades displayed along the sides.

Man in a dark suit steps forward toward the camera with an outstretched hand and a smile, holding a drink in the other hand, while a small cheering crowd behind him claps and laughs under stage lighting.

Three performers pose in front of a large face backdrop, with the central figure in a flat cap reaching forward mid-gesture, a person in a blonde wig and blue outfit standing beside him, and another performer in a yellow shirt lit by red light in the background.

Casey Filips: Virtuoso

The Man. The Myth. The Idiot. Tobias Finlay-Fraser is the greatest actor of his generation. Only problem is, he's played by little-known actor/comedian Casey Filips. Virtuoso is an award-winning one-man comedy hour following actor Tobias, a pretentious yet charming idiot doing anything he can in the audition of a lifetime.
