Michael Jerrarde: Gifted August 26, 2007

EDINBURGH FRINGE FESTIVAL 2007
The Green Room 23:30 (ends 00:20)
2nd-26th August (not 13th)

From an early age Michael Jerrarde realised he had a gift:
He could talk to dead people.

Here’s news that should have the likes of Derek Acorah and Colin Fry quaking in their boots: This August, New Zealand’s premier psychic medium Michael Jerrarde hits the shores of the UK, bringing his Billy T Award nominated show to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

Showcasing his dual gifts as both a medium and clairvoyant, Michael will take audiences through the witching hour daily, with psychic feats and startling messages from the other side, reuniting those in the physical world with those who have crossed over.

Those who haven’t seen Jerrarde before will be shocked by his uncannily accurate readings and natural rapport with those in the spirit world, which comes through years of experience as a medium.
An astoundingly caring performer, at the end of the day Michael believes his trade is about helping others. “People often come to me because they need ‘closure’ – closure is when something that is open…is closed.
You’d be surprised how much they pay for that”

“Sceptics say I can’t really do it, but they’re not the ones who can talk to dead people are they?”

Jerrarde’s ultimate aim has always been to prove the sceptics wrong and this year’s show will be no exception:
“If I can just convince one sceptic per show, they might tell five friends, and those five friends might tell five friends, that’s like twenty five sceptics and those twenty five might tell another twenty five and before you know it…well, that’s a lot of sceptics convinced”

So whether you’re a sceptic or true believer, come along and witness Michael’s remarkable gift; an evening with Michael Jerrarde will undoubtedly leave you questioning the talents of all those other celebrity mediums you’ve seen on TV.
