Edinburgh Festival Fringe programme 2015 by Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society

the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, defying the norm since 1947.

the greatest show on earth, entertainment heaven,

Here anything goes, anything can happen,

nothing is certain, nothing’s a given.

A song may have no words or even no rhythm,

basking unexpectedly below a spotlight’s glow.

The audience can become the cast of a show,

crossing lines, becoming headlines on the front page.

Shows without boundaries or even a stage,

uppercuts to the upper classes, quick jabs at the masses.

Stand-ups standing up for what they believe,

and exceptional acts challenging perceptions.

There are no rules only exceptions,

it’s not a stunt or some attempt at a trend.

This may contain material that will shock or offend,

THERE’S MONEY

AND THERE’S VIRGIN MONEY Sit down, relax and slouch away in one of our stylish Virgin Money Lounges. Enjoy free wi-fi and refreshments, use our iPads and you could even do a bit of banking… or not. Search Virgin Money Lounges.

Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2015

I am pleased to add my welcome to you to the 2015 Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The Fringe is an incredible institution and for all its age and profundity, remains an ebullient, dynamic, wonderful force of nature. It is, of course, still rebellious and boisterous, but is also renowned around the world and is an incredibly important event for the city, for the country and for the cultural wellbeing of our citizens and artists. It is my honour to thank all of the wonderful individuals, companies and institutions for the financial, logistical and moral support that you offer the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society. This support is invaluable and allows us to fulfil our purpose of supporting, advising and encouraging all of the artists, companies, producers and venues who make up the Fringe each year. The team at the Fringe Society works tirelessly to support our participants, to raise the profile of this wonderful festival in the UK and around the world, to help you, the intrepid audience, navigate your way around and to make sure that the Edinburgh Festival Fringe truly remains the best environment in which to develop talent, make new connections and, above all, have fun.

With thousands of shows and hundreds of venues, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe is the largest arts festival on Earth, an inspiring celebration of the best performance and entertainment from every continent of our planet. So whether you’re a seasoned Fringe visitor or performer or this is your first experience of the festival, there is always a fair bit of planning required to make the most of what’s on offer. The Fringe Society is here to help you plan your trip and get around. There’s loads of information in this programme, including maps of all venues and on edfringe.com. You can easily search and book tickets to every show on the Fringe at edfringe.com or via the official App for iPhone and Android and then pick your tickets up at one of our collection points situated all over the city. Or pop into our Box Office or pick up the phone and we’ll help you in person. The Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society, a registered charity, works year round to develop and improve our services to make sure the world’s largest arts festival is an all-round better experience each time you visit.

The journey to Edinburgh is part of the fun. Whether travelling by rail or road, via the Highlands or the Borders, the landscape is spectacularly breathtaking. Your travel to Edinburgh has an impact on the environment and flying from cities in the UK can take as long as travelling by train when you consider check-in times, why not consider coming by train or bus.

Train If you’re travelling from London, the Caledonian Sleeper, an overnight train from London Euston, will get you to Edinburgh first thing in the morning ready for a full day of Fringe fun. You can book up to 12 months in advance at www.sleeper.scot. ScotRail (scotrail.co.uk) has an extensive network of routes to Edinburgh from all over Scotland and provides a range of travel options and offers throughout August.

Bus Scottish Citylink (citylink.co.uk), Megabus (uk.megabus.com) and Stagecoach (stagecoachbus.com) all have a variety of coach services to Edinburgh from destinations across Scotland and the rest of the UK.

Car If you are bringing your own car, please be aware that Edinburgh has limited parking and strict restrictions in place.

Air If you’re travelling from farther afield, Edinburgh Airport, located eight miles west of the city centre, is connected to over 100 destinations worldwide via over 40 different airlines. www.edinburghairport.com

Walking and Cycling Edinburgh is a compact city and the majority of venues are located within easy walking distance of each other. Walking and cycling are fun, low-cost and healthy modes of everyday transport and Edinburgh is the ideal city to explore on foot or by bike. During August, when Edinburgh is particularly busy, the quickest way to get between venues is often on foot or by bike and this is a great way to get a bit active too! There are numerous shared-use bike paths and on-road routes that will get you close to most venues on the Fringe. The Fringe Programme map includes information on some useful routes, but more complete cycling maps can be found at innertubemap.com and through spokes.org.uk. To find out more about walking and cycling in Edinburgh visit www.edinburgh.gov.uk/exploreedinburgh.

Taxis The city is dotted with conveniently located taxi ranks, or you can flag down one of the distinctive black cabs (the orange light on top of the taxi means that it is available for hire).

Bus Edinburgh has an excellent local bus service for getting into the city if you’re staying on the outskirts, or for getting around – most venues are not far from a bus stop. We also have a tramline running directly from Edinburgh Airport to York Place via Princes Street and St Andrew Square. The Transport for Edinburgh smartphone travel app has lots of information to help you plan your journey and their Travelshop locations are shown on the Fringe map. www.transportforedinburgh.com

Maps At the back of this programme you will find a convenient foldout map showing every venue hosting a Fringe show. You can also pick up the free Edinburgh’s festivals larger-scale map at Box Office and ticket collection points, the edfringe shop and at Fringe venues around the city. Edfringe.com also includes Google maps next to each show and venue listing. You can also download our Fringe App for iPhone and Android phones to help you navigate your way around.

The Fringe Society is working closely with Festivals Edinburgh and Creative Carbon Scotland to reduce our negative environmental impacts. We’re currently one of the growing number of arts organisations working towards a more sustainable Scotland through participation in the Green Arts Initiative, a project designed to support festivals, venues, companies and audiences in reducing their carbon footprint while participating in the arts.

Freddie should never leave the house, if he's not caught eating chicken naked, he’s accidentally involved in gangland gunfights. This needs explaining. Got 45 minutes? 'Very funny and likeable!' SSSS (ThreeWeeks)

TFM

Fiona can’t answer her own FAQs. How to deal with friends you don’t like? Snorkel vomit? Internet dumping? Dolphin assault? All true. Even the lion bit. ‘Laugh-out-loud honesty’ (Scottish Storytelling Centre). ‘Funny, clever and relatable’ (7Ahead.com).

Virginia Ironside: Growing Old Disgracefully

WeddingBingo – Free

Joe Mace / Laughing Horse Free Festival

Lakin McCarthy Entertainment Ltd.

You are cordially invited to a show that celebrates two of the best things in life: weddings and bingo. An hour of ridiculousness all about big days, plus play along to win prizes.

Agony aunt and best-selling author explains why unlimited free drugs, fun funerals, grandchildren, sex (or even better no sex), make growing old one of the best times of your life. Honest. ‘irreverent... an absolute delight’ (Scotsman).

Backstory

Taffy Thomas

When people wonder about the meaning of life, they are really asking about who they are and what they want: for as the philosophers tell us, meanings are created not imposed.

From fire-eater to stroke survivor, to the first Laureate for Storytelling. Taffy Thomas tells his own moving personal story studded with gripping traditional tales, beautiful tunes and dances. To be followed by a book signing.

Ellen Waddell / PBH's Free Fringe

A stunning, energetic sequence of semi-confessional slam poetry, taking you from the dark depths of the mind to the mountain-peak pinnacles of youth: a teenager exploring the strange world around her and within her. A must-see.

Tragicomedy about love and sex in 2015. Overawed by the easy availability of men online, Eddie bites off more than he can chew when he hooks up with Robin for sex, and forms a strong and mostly one-sided attachment.

DNA

Donald Does Dusty

The Theatre School

Diane Torr

Some teenagers do something bad, really bad, then panic and cover the whole thing up. But when they find that the cover-up unites them and brings harmony to their once fractious lives, where's the incentive to put things right?

Growing up in 1960s Aberdeen, my gay brother Donald regularly impersonated Dusty Springfield. I would watch. We both admired Dusty's gutsiness and gayness. Donald died of AIDS in 1992. A homage to them both.

The Man Called Monkhouse

Mata Hari: Female Spy

TFLP

TFL

Company Gavin Robertson

Cahoots Theatre Company

Dancer, courtesan, liar, her one talent was the art of self-invention. The first femme fatale. And... victim of a set up? Executed for having no shame? Using her own words ‘inventive and superb’ (Stage).

The smile. The cuff. The wink. In all, the comedian's comedian. What happens when Bob Monkhouse's joke book gets stolen? Alex Lowe writes, and Bob Golding directs Simon Cartwright in this solo play. Hilarious and poignant.

One of the most exciting solo shows of the past decade. Live theatre at its best. 'Terrifying, searing, transfixing ... it's quite impossible to be anything other than totally absorbed by Utton's performance' (Scotsman).

The Sacred Obscene

by James Fritz. Produced by MOTOR

Glass Moon Theatre Company

TLP

TFMP

In this disquieting duologue for one performer, 2015 Olivier nominee James Fritz (4m12s, Hampstead) takes an unflinching look at the myths of modern love. World premiere. 'My favourite new play of the year' (ExeuntMagazine.com, on Fritz's Lines).

Set in a London strip club, The Sacred Obscene looks at the restraints on both male and female sexuality in society, questioning the modern perceptions of it and unearthing the power that lies beneath.

From last year's Drunk Lion (SSSS BroadwayBaby.com, SSSSS TVBomb.co.uk) comes Violence of the Lambs, a comedy about the upcoming animal vs human war. Which side are you on? ‘Wild and weird and friendly and funny’ (NOLADefender.com).

A heartfelt adaptation of Sharon Creech's novel. The story alternates between Sal's trip with her grandparents and the disappearance of her friend Phoebe's mother. Through telling Phoebe's story Sal begins to understand her own mother's absence.

Cameo Cinema

H Opened in 1964 by Sir Sean Connery as the first licensed cinema bar in Edinburgh, our bar has become the place not only to talk about film, but also to meet and greet, relax and read, get on with some work, make use of the Wi-Fi, enjoy a game of Jenga, munch a stromboli, feast on a slice of cake or work your way through our carefully chosen selection of beverages. Williams Draught, Estrella and Black Rat Cider are on tap as well as our stylish and eclectic selection of bottled beers. If you prefer wine but can’t decide which one, we’ll provide you with tasters to help you choose. We are proud members of the Union of Genius soup revolution and purveyors of super Stromboli from our neighbours The Breadwinner Bakery. We’ve also welcomed Lo Spuntino into the fold with their quintessential quiches and perfect pizza. If you're after a light snack, we make fresh dips on-site and serve them with either crisp tortilla chips, warm pitta bread or oat cakes. We welcome the littlest customers till 20:00 every night and we are more than accommodating of well-behaved canine customers too! I =129

THERE’S FUNDRAISING

AND THERE’S VIRGIN MONEY FUNDRAISING Fundraising’s never looked so good as with Virgin Money Giving. Because, unlike some other fundraising websites, we don’t make a profit on your donations. Which means there’s now £10 million extra going to charities you care about. Search Virgin Money Giving.
