Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2016
Foreword from the Chief Executive
Shona McCarthy Chief Executive Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society
Welcome to the 2016 Edinburgh Festival Fringe Programme For years I have watched in wonder as the Edinburgh Festival Fringe opens the doors, streets and alleyways of an entire city to an explosion of creative energy from around the globe. As a newcomer to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society, it is an enormous privilege to be in a position to support the performers, venues, audiences and the thousands of extraordinary creatives who make the Fringe a reality. As we approach the Fringe’s 70th anniversary in 2017, it is still the core open access principle that makes this festival such a compelling and unique experience. The Fringe, the biggest arts festival on the planet, is where you will find an incredible range and choice, whether you are looking for the new and undiscovered or established talent, and whether it’s theatre, comedy, dance, music, street performance, cabaret, the spoken word or circus, this is the festival that offers it all and makes you the curator. The Fringe Society is here to help. There is a host of useful information in this programme and on edfringe.com, there are ticket collection points all across the city, and from July there is a brand new app to help you plan your days and search shows and buy tickets. Whether you are a participant or audience member, the Fringe Society team are here to help you navigate your way and get the best from this amazing festival. It’s my great privilege to present to you the Fringe 2016 Programme – have a wonderful Fringe and see you in 2017.

Show Name

It is my pleasure to present you with the official Edinburgh Festival Fringe Programme for 2016. This programme is the culmination of the passion, creativity and hard work of many people. From the writers, producers, directors and performers whose respective visions are captured within these pages, to the programmers, technicians and box office staff at the venues, to our own dedicated staff at the Fringe Society. We are grateful to all those who have been involved.
Show icons – See below. Sub genres – These let you know a little more about what to expect from each show.
The beauty of the Fringe is that it offers a space which doesn’t just accommodate, but celebrates the different aspirations of those who take part. The idea that anyone with a creative idea, with the energy and drive to make it happen, can be part of this incredible cultural phenomenon, is one that resonates, and first timers arrive with the same spirit of hope and determination as seasoned performers.

As a charity the Fringe Society has three main objectives. To support, advise and encourage all Fringe participants, from the first flicker of an idea, throughout the planning process, to the festival itself and beyond. The second is to ensure the audiences get the most out of their time in Edinburgh, whether planning your days here or booking tickets.

Welcome to Edinburgh 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 part of our planet. So whether you’re a seasoned Fringe visitor or performer or this is your first experience of the Fringe, there is always a fair bit of planning required to make the most of what’s on offer.
Witness some of the most extraordinary and spectacular events at the Fringe on the High Street section of the Royal Mile and at The Mound Precinct. • Free previews of hundreds of Fringe shows • World class street shows, buskers and entertainers of every talent imaginable
The Fringe Society is here to help you plan your trip and get around. There’s loads of information in this programme and on edfringe.com, including maps of all venues. You can easily search and book tickets to every show on the Fringe at edfringe.com or, from July, 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.
Getting Here 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. If you’re more local, 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
Getting around 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 edinburgh.gov.uk/exploreedinburgh.
Taxis
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.
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).
Car
Bus
If you are bringing your own car, please be aware that Edinburgh has limited parking and strict restrictions in place.
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
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
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. 6

A journey of temptation through idiocy and fun. The solo debut of Fanny Duret, member of the Gaulier-trained clown group Plague of Idiots. That which is forbidden is desired. You are hereby forbidden to see this show.
‘The tightest, smartest musical comedy show I’ve ever seen’ (PhillySketchFest.com). British sisters Flo & Joan (Toronto Sketchfest Best of the Fest Showcase) present an hour of dark, witty, yet oddly charming songs for your absorption.

Poetry, Spoken word
In his debut Fringe show, Martin talks and raps about rimming, Grindr and being a homo-sexy-gal. We’re talking glitter and fisting. Not for the faint of heart, but straight people are welcome. Very gay.
Philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche had a terrible relationship with women, so comedian Giacinto Palmieri wasn't happy to discover it resembled his own. Come and laugh at two funny losers for the price of none!

Whichever light entertainer we still admire is stood up at his lifetime achievement party by those we don't, leaving an unknown MC to invent a televisual history worth celebrating. Surreal fun from the Oxford Revue.

Bound and Gagged Comedy
This show tells an autobiographical story about Geneva's greatest fears and insecurities and how she laughs at them. This show is intended to make people cringe and laugh at the same time.
What connects the homoeroticism of 1980s police dramas with the disappearance of a comedy legend? ISIS. They're to blame for everything now, right? Expect themes of fundamentalism, alcoholism, colonialism, magnetism and biscuits. Free biscuits!

Nineteenth and last year for the show that started the Free Fringe. Three or four guest comedians every night. Geriatric failure PBH comperes. Some people like this sort of thing.
Phil Jerrod's second Edinburgh show is all about contradictions. But also not about that at all. 'Insightful, despairing wit' SSSS (Scotsman). 'Razor sharp timing' SSSS (EdFestMag.com). 'Perfectly glorious comedy' (BroadwayBaby.com). 'Casual brilliance' (Guardian).

The latest craze is literally nothing. Phil Mann's latest comedy show is ‘...hyper-energetic, eccentric, breath-taking...' (FringeReview.co.uk) and obsessed with... well, nothing. ‘Very funny’ (Fest, ThreeWeeks, FringeReview.co.uk). ‘Odd’ (Fest, List, FringeReport.com). ‘Genius’ (Zoo Magazine, ThePublicReviews.com, FringeReport.com).

Good parody should amuse, surprise and, above all, surpass the source material. When three artists join forces to send up (and celebrate) their country’s contemporary dance scene, they tick all the boxes. A lovingly crafted, self-deprecating homage to cliche.
Human, a recently deceased teenager, full of life (ironically) and unwilling to move on. Death, a twit. An eternity together in the afterlife. What could possibly go wrong? New writing

NuShu was a coded script invented by women in Hunan, China to record their secret reflections. Inspired by this nearly lost language, Taiwanese choreographer Hiu-Chen Tan has created a subtle dance piece on the wisdom of women.
This is Japanese Iki! What do you get when you put breathtaking projection dance, inspired by karate and hip hop, together with hilarious traditional Japanese storytelling? You get Japanese Iki, of course... Seeing is disbelieving!

In this award-winning dance performance, Alex Deutinger reenacts Barack Obama's legendary Nobel Peace Prize lecture – while being manipulated from behind the audience like a marionette on invisible strings. A fascinating dance work about war, peace and hope.
A:Version is a humorous celebration of the art of making mistakes. When does rehearsal end and performance begin? Pitch is a realisation: how are we living our lives? Trying, winning, failing. Do something! Fresh, honest dance theatre. http://www.edfringe.com/event/2016AVERSIO_RZ

Luke Murphy – Attic Projects
Circus, Music
Intimate, personal solo work. Luke invites the audience to share an evening of dance and storytelling. Both fragile and blunt, the quiet story of a man leaving, returning and searching for home is revealed.
This is virtuoso juggling gone wild. A diabolical playground experiment from three monstrously skilful and charismatically cheeky young jugglers. Better than sex and as good as chocolate. See it before it’s too late. http://www.edfringe.com/event/2016WATERON_9D

Alasdair Cameron, in his second Fringe recital, plays a potpourri of masterpieces by Marcello/Bach, Mozart’s Fantasy in C minor, Debussy’s Moon pieces and Schubert Impromptus. ‘One of Scotland’s best’ (Glasgow Cultural Enterprises). Not to be missed!

These Boots
Exeter’s female a cappella group get vocal about break-ups. Two time ICCA and VFUK semi-finalists, their third Fringe show flaunts pop hits and modern mashups to prove it’s not all heartache and tears.
Experience the multi talented cathedral choir singers as you’ve never heard them before in this decidedly non-sacred cabaret programme. Instead of Kodaly, Stanford or Poulenc expect a tasty, sparkling cocktail of Kander, Sondheim and Cole Porter.

Tobes is young, free and having a ball. Off. It’s seriously cramping his style. So there are pants to be dropped and decisions to be made. A comedy about growing up and manning up from rising star Luke Norris.
A gig like no other; these are songs for a city growing greater and greater. Little King and his string quartet blend powerful composition and poetic storytelling to cut through the sleech and speak to the heart.

A darkly humorous play in which a woman must decide how her attacker will be executed. Plagued with inner turmoil, she considers her options aided by two (somewhat inept) officials. Can she find resolution after a life-altering attack?
Set in Stockholm, this tragic comedy follows the unravelling mind of its charismatic and eccentric lead, Torsten. His sharp-witted niece, Nina, sees through his unnerving charm. A warm piece of new writing. A fresh perspective on mental illness.

Figs in Wigs
Making international trade deals isn't easy but it is funny, absurd, ridiculous, stupid, nonsensical, manic, moronic, filthy, terrifying, profane, devastating and moooo-ving. We will sell all the beef! You just gots to believe. If you still can. Absurdist, Comedy

Figs in Wigs are often on stage, but how did we get here? How do we leave? A show made entirely of entrances and exits interspersed with lies we tell when people ask if we're making money.
Meet Moko. He's an urban cowboy. His life fits in a trolley. He wants to meet you. Inspired by encounters with people living on the streets, One Day Moko investigates how rebellion and opportunity shape our lives.

We all agree Shakespeare’s characters need professional help. They won’t find it here. Shakespeare Syndrome, a one-act comedy, shows what happens when several characters go to the same psychiatrist’s office. Though this be madness, there’s no method in’t.

The East/West stand-off surely needed the hard stuff to steady nerves. The story of the Cold War, near nuclear annihilation and how whisky played its part. Who knew? A scintillating whisky tasting – the Whisky Anorak way.
Portmanteau's new solo show is part romcom, part wedding prep, part (complete) life crisis. Join Melissa as she takes on outdated traditions, the uneasy desire to be a princess and mountains of wedding magazines. Fringe First nominees 2014.

The Tragedy of Two Tuesdays
Troilus and Cressida Shakespeareonthelevel
The Tragedy of Two Tuesdays takes place in The Dream Cafe, wherein quiet cooks, sassy servers, a busboy and a menacing manager butt heads about nonsense and whine about their not so bad lives.
FjP
Shakespeare smashes Homer’s grand legend of the Trojan War while the unrivalled gallery of stars – Achilles, Agamemnon and Helen – lust and manipulate general destruction. Comedy, tragedy, history, satire, political danger at its most chilling.

Rick Wood

A cynical drama teacher ends up being touched by a student’s life. Performed by one man, entirely as a beat poem, Wood exposes the issues in education and the delicacy of the teacher/student relationship. Poetry, Musical theatre
Ubu assumes the role of Faust in this raucous, rapid-fire bastardisation of Punch and Judy. Contains boorish villainy, laughable special effects, gratuitous wordplay, and puppet sexuality. Minimal audience participation. Only one bit. Well, three. But they're relatively painless.
Two presents working-class life in a northern local, a place of failed aspirations, unfulfilled lives and long-kept secrets. A bickering husband and wife and the dozen regulars who pass through all play a part in this heart-warming comedy. www.cd-productions.co.uk Comedy, Drama

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 = 1 2 9 Events

HELP KEEP THE SHOWS ON THE ROAD
We love the Fringe and we’re so proud to support it. If you share our passion, you can help it thrive by making a donation to the Fringe Society at virginmoneygiving.com The Fringe Society is a charity supporting, advising and encouraging performers who come to Edinburgh. Every penny they receive directly supports the Fringe. Virgin Money Giving is the not-for-profit alternative to JustGiving, so you can be sure more of the money you donate goes where it’s needed most. There’s money and there’s Virgin Money.
