Two-time Perth Fringe World Best Comedy Show nominees, Thurber Prize semi-finalist, over two million copies sold – Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone book series. Identical twins.

The Umbrella Man: What We Talk About When We Talk About the JFK Assassination

Dallas, 22 November 1963. The main event is supposed to be on Main Street – crowds fifty deep, a blizzard of ticker tape. A few blocks away in Dealey Plaza, the scene is quieter: a handful of people, clear skies. A man with an umbrella. A woman with a polaroid. A dressmaker with vertigo. These are the strange, true stories of the ordinary people who opted out of the main event, only to spend the rest of their lives unable to leave it.

Lucy Moss: some songs I wrote

I’m gonna be sharing some songs I’ve written solo, over the years, that have lived in my voice memos, unlistened to – until now! They’re mostly sad little songs written when I was sad, so if you’re a fan of the upbeat, comic vibes of my work in things like SIX and Why Am I So Single? – then please prepare to be somewhat disappointed! The singing (not by me) will be great, though. This will be a special stripped-back show for Shedinburgh.

Bourgeois & Maurice: Everything's Fine (WIP)

'Cabaret legends' (Independent) Bourgeois & Maurice are here to solve all the world’s problems with a piano, some sequins and a lick of mascara so thick it could run for president.

Dry Ice

First performed at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2015 to great acclaim, earning a Stage Award for Best Solo Show nomination, Dry Ice returns in a new script-in-hand reading from acclaimed actress Ria Zmitrowicz. Dry Ice is not (just) a strip club exposé. It’s a story of a young woman trying to find her place in the world: hope, disappointment, sex, power and the voyeur in all of us. It is also quite funny. This special stripped back, script-in-hand reading re-imagines the hit Fringe show for Shedinburgh.

BULK (WIP)

A new documentary theatre dance hybrid interrogating the intersection of gym culture and addiction in Dublin. Infusing street dance, music and video, this unflinching work explores the gyms as cultural spaces, where stories converge, and bodies are broken as well as built. Based on a series of interviews, BULK sheds light on issues surrounding male adolescence, fractured relationships, body dysmorphia and stimulant abuse. This is a chance to see a new WIP from one of the most exciting writers from across the UK and Ireland, part of the Shed Originals script development programme in partnership with Abbey Theatre.

Truth's a Dog Must to Kennel

The Fool leaves King Lear before the blinding. Before the ice creams in the interval. In this extraordinary solo work, Tim Crouch draws on ideas of virtual reality to send the character back to the wreckage of the world they left. Truth’s a Dog Must to Kennel switches between scathing stand-up and an audacious act of collective imagining. It’s a celebration of live performance and a skewering of the state we’re in now. ***** (The Scotsman Fringe First, 2022). This will be a special stripped-back version of the hit Fringe show, reimagined for Shedinburgh.
