The show was premiered at the Brighton Festival, and went on to tour the UK, sell out London's ICA and headline three nights in the Glastonbury Festival theatre tent. The revival of The Madcap in April 2007 led to Malcolm performing an excerpt on BBC Radio 4’s “Today” programme.

This show took its audience on a cross-country journey by steam train, and continued the site-specific work Limn Gaza had begun with After Parade – a performance set in an abandoned multi-storey car park which won the Brighton Festival award for Best Show. Malcolm was also one half of Wax Cabinet – a comedy double act with Graham Duff. A sequel to The Madcap is also in the offing.
