A great character comedy piece by Scot Paul Connolly with reviews you can't ignore: 'I am magnificent!' (The Director, The Director Hourly Theatre Newsletter).

'I would pay my life savings for 5 minutes of his wisdom and knowledge' (Mr D. Rector, former student).

Fringe! The Musical

What seems to be an autobiographical show from a young actress is actually a cleverly written mock-musical from a theatre company in England. From the description: "Chantelle Duprée always dreamed of becoming a star! From her "humble" upbringing in an American mid-western town, she decides to travel across the pond to perform a one-woman show at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in search of fame and fortune. Will she get her big break?" Love original musicals and love meta shows; I'm there!

Art of Selling Out

What happens when you mix a Fringe show with a pyramid scheme written by a three-time Emmy nominated producer and writer? Seems like this would have a punchline, but it's really just this show. Jacki would like to welcome you to her show she is writing for her love of live theatre and is throwing in a free cocktail!

Aug 2-10

Greenside @ Riddles Court - Clover Studio 19:45 - 20:15 Free Cocktail and Hat Included!

 

Aaaaa Very Fringey Show

This one only needs the description: "What makes the perfect Fringe show: comedy, theatre, magic, puppets, improv? Yes. The perfect show is every show in one. Spend 50 minutes with four young hopefuls who will pitch to you the fringiest Fringe show ever! You’re the hotshot new producer with a venue to fill and these four think they have a show that will pack in the crowds… and if their first pitch doesn’t wow you, they’ve got another hundred ideas for the ultimate Fringe hour! They won’t take no for an answer and in the end their…"immeasurable" talent will win you over!!" Love it!

Lucky Maclean’s Festival in the Bin

Now this looks like a true Fringe experience. From the description: "Lucky Maclean (character comedian and Wallace and Gromit voice actor Ben Whitehead) presents a humourous and thought-provoking outdoor show alive with variety, participation and unassuming wonderment." Walking tours are a dime-a-dozen at Fringe, so one like this deep in character sounds refreshing!
