Eric's Tales of the Sea is a one-man stage performance by "Eric" which has been presented in the United Kingdom and Australia at Fringe festivals, comedy festivals and special events.[1][2][3] During the show, Eric discusses his experiences as a submariner and member of the Royal Navy with the audience, within the limitations of the Official Secrets Act.[4] In 2009, The Guardian described the show as a "compendium of extraordinary naval yarns" which includes encounters with sharks and near-death experiences during submarine escape training and exercises.[5] In 2012 the show played at the Edinburgh Fringe.[6] In 2016 and 2017 the show played at the Adelaide Fringe Festival and included projected photographs from Eric's naval career and occasional diagrams and quotations.[7][8]
