Help the shows go on Over 70 years of defying the norm doesn’t just happen by itself. The Fringe Society is a charity supporting and advising the acts that come to Edinburgh.

Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2018

About the Fringe We believe that everyone, irrespective of their background, should have the opportunity to experience and express themselves through creativity. Everyone with a desire to perform and a venue willing to host them is welcome at the Fringe. No individual or committee determines who can or cannot appear. You, the audience, are invited to curate your own festival from the wide range of choice on offer. It all began in 1947 with eight companies – six of them from Scotland – taking a risk, turning up uninvited and performing on the ‘fringe’ of the inaugural Edinburgh International Festival. Over 70 years later, the Fringe has grown to become the greatest platform for creative freedom in the world. Each August, we welcome tens of thousands of participants from over 50 countries to perform in venues across Edinburgh, from the smallest phone box to the grandest theatre. The Fringe has become the premiere meeting place for creative people from all over the world to perform, gather, exchange, discover and select new work. It is at the centre of a global movement of over 200 fringe festivals, each inspired by Edinburgh’s example. Much has changed since 1947, but our founding principle remains the same – if you have a story to tell, and a venue to host you, the Fringe stage is yours.

About the Fringe Society The Fringe Society is a charity that was established by participants to act as the custodian of the Fringe. We exist to: §§ Support, advise and encourage everyone who wants to participate in the Fringe. §§ Provide information and assistance to help audiences curate their own Fringe experience. §§ Promote the Fringe and what it stands for all over the world. Based on the Royal Mile in Edinburgh, the Society has a full-time team of just over 20 people, who work yearround to assist all the participants and audiences who make up the world’s largest arts festival.

Want to take part in 2019? If you’ve been inspired to take part in next year’s Fringe, please come and visit us at Fringe Central (Venue 2, open from 30 July – 27 August) and ask to speak to a member of the Participant Services team. You can also visit edfringe.com/takepart where you’ll find information, advice and downloadable guides to taking part in the Fringe. Or come along to our How to Do a Show event on Saturday 25 August at 12:00 at Fringe Central. It’s free to attend and full details are available in the Events section of this programme.

Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2018

Are you ready to leap #intotheunknown?

Contents

It is our pleasure to welcome you to the wonderful world of the Fringe. This programme represents an eclectic mix of creative endeavour from across the globe: new theatre, the best of comedy, children’s shows, spoken word, cabaret, music and more. Work across every genre, from established genius to emerging talent.

About the Fringe....................................... 2

Congratulations to all the performers, producers and writers who have taken the leap and made Fringe 2018 their home. Welcome to the journalists, film-makers and critics; to the promoters and curators who come from Scotland, the UK and all over the world to find work and talent; and last but by no means least, welcome to you, our audience. We hope you enjoy venturing out into the city and exploring everything this unique festival has to offer.

Accessibility............................................... 8

Following our 70th anniversary celebrations in 2017, we felt it was important to take stock, gather feedback, challenge assumptions, and lay the groundwork for our 75th anniversary in 2022. The culmination of all this work is the Fringe Blueprint, an action plan which we believe represents an ambitious but achievable vision of what the Fringe could look like over the next five years.

Events................................................... 210

At the heart of the Fringe is the idea that everyone with a desire to perform and a venue willing to host them is welcome, and our Blueprint identifies new approaches to ensure anyone can participate, regardless of their background. From driving down the cost of attendance to engaging young people in the arts, enhancing our street performance space on the Royal Mile to reaching out to underrepresented groups in Edinburgh and further afield, we want the Fringe to be the greatest festival on earth at which to perform and produce, run a venue, develop a career, see shows and discover talent. We can’t do any of this alone. If you love the Fringe and would like to play your part in its extraordinary story, we would love to hear from you. Visit edfringe.com/blueprint to find out more about our plans, and the many and various ways you can help. For now, in 2018, as the Fringe enters its eighth decade, we invite you to enjoy the familiar and celebrated art of the Fringe and we challenge you to pioneer, dig deep into this programme, create your own adventure and take a leap into the unknown. Enjoy!

Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2018

Share your Fringe experiences #intotheunknown

Welcome to the Virgin Money Street Events Many Fringe adventures start at the Virgin Money Street Events, which take place each and every day of the festival. Each year, the historic Royal Mile and Mound Precinct are transformed into huge street performance playgrounds where hundreds of performers mix with thousands of festival-goers, creating the most vibrant and visible event of Edinburgh’s summer. Street theatre has long been an important part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and 2018 marks the 20th year that the Fringe Society has managed the Street Events, so expect some exciting new additions this summer. These include new stages and performance areas, allowing us to present an even wider range of Fringe shows and street theatre spectacles.

What will I see? With over 250 shows a day, there’s always something to see at the Virgin Money Street Events, but if you’re not quite sure where to start, head to the West Parliament Square Spectacular which takes place most days at 13:15 and 20:15, and features some of the biggest and brightest shows at the Fringe. If you’re looking for a lunchtime laugh, the Mercat Stage hosts Fringe Sunday Comedy every Sunday at 13:00. From 10 to 12 August, Let’s Circus will be bringing their aerial rig to the High Street and hosting some of the Fringe’s best aerial performers. Another date for your diary is The Big Street Showcase, which takes place on West Parliament Square at 13:15 on 19 August.

There are over 1,200 groups performing hundreds of family-friendly shows each and every day. Here are just some of the highlights: §§ Fringe shows Try before you buy, with performers from across the city offering tasters of their main Fringe performances. §§ Buskers Think music, magic and circus. All this and more at our busker pitches dotted around the event arenas. §§ Street performers Attracting the biggest crowds on the street, these international performers entertain using a mixture of circus skills, comedy, stunts and silliness. §§ Living statues Edinburgh is full of statues, but they only come to life at the Fringe! Unusual characters, crazy costumes and a surprise should you drop a coin into the hat. §§ Arts and craft market A diverse range of handmade, high-quality goods and souvenirs to remember your time in Edinburgh. §§ Festival favourites Portrait artists, balloon twisters, face painters, hair braiders, henna artists, tarot readers and more line the streets to get you in full festival swing.

Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2018

What’s on when?

Accessibility

Most performances are scheduled by lottery at the start of each day, with the daily schedule published online by noon. You will also find schedule boards at all the performance areas, which list the shows happening there that day. The online schedule is available at edfringe.com/streetevents.

Everyone is welcome at the Virgin Money Street Events, and we offer services including viewing areas for those with access needs, BSL interpreted street shows, quieter areas and accessible stages. There are accessible toilets available, just ask a member of staff for directions. All our staff have received access training and will be happy to help those who need extra assistance. For a full rundown of all the services we offer, see page 8.

Please note: the only people paying our street events performers are you, the public who watch the shows. If you enjoy a show and can afford it, please support street theatre and put a donation in the hat. This year, we will also be trialling contactless payments for buskers, in association with iZettle.

Where do I find them? We have two event spaces where you can watch worldclass street performances – Fringe on the Mile and Fringe on the Mound. Fringe on the Mile is located on the Royal Mile between Cockburn Street and George IV Bridge, whilst Fringe on the Mound is located on the Mound Precinct, near Princes Street. Shows run from 11:00 to 21:00 every day of the Fringe.

How can I take part? The Virgin Money Street Events are completely open access and free for performers wishing to take part. This means that we have absolute beginners working alongside some of the best street theatre performers in the world. You can take part too. If you have an act and would like to perform with us, just register your show through the Fringe website and you could be performing with us the very next day. For more information, visit edfringe.com/streetevents or email streetevents@edfringe.com.

Witness some of the Fringe’s most extraordinary sights at the Virgin Money Street Events. §§ Daily showcases on our main stages §§ Free previews of hundreds of shows §§ Scottish arts and craft market §§ World-class street performers, buskers and artists Visit us on the Royal Mile and the Mound Precinct.

Adulting

She's a myriad of paradoxes. A hardcore yoga bunny with surprisingly squishy thighs. A boring heteronormative disguised as a luscious lady lover. Nothing is what it seems. Especially Abigoliah Schamaun.

23rd year of finding the finest upcoming comedians on the circuit, this year featuring Naomi Cooper, Hannah Platt, Huge Davies plus host Robin Morgan. Quality talent in its prime. ‘Top comedy, top value’ (List).

Longing for something but short on luck. Disturbed but not perturbed. They’re getting tense and they’re making no sense, these unique freaks, these abnormal non-conformal alcoholic melancholics. Two personalities, two performances, one cry for help.

Los Angeles hasn't changed Chris – he's a Manchester lad, born and gluten-free bread. Niche gags and eloquent freestyles from a 'virtuoso' (Guardian). 'The best show I've reviewed in seven years' SSSS (List).

Insanely talented comedian Christian Elderfield presents Bolloxed. A performance packed with wonderfully punchy storytelling and clever observations. Basically it's a fun show from a world-travelling Brit now living in Australia. 'Fantastic, intimate slap-dash comedy' SSSS½ (Advertiser, Adelaide).

He’s tackled gangs and golliwogs: now James Nokise returns with... sports! Yep. Sports. The world's too crazy, so it’s world cups, world champions but no world events.

The BBC is bust and the planet is too. But one man, armed with office supplies and a surreal imagination, is bringing nature's weirdos back to life in this 'hugely entertaining' (Chortle.co.uk), low-budget, one-man nature documentary.

Sonia Aste is a Spaniard living in the UK who insists it’s not all fiesta and siesta! We get miserable too! Nobody’s listening. Don’t miss her "sunny" journey through British/Spanish connections. Foot-stomping laughter! Olé!

Mandy Knight / PBH's Free Fringe

Award-winning Spanish clown-diva show inspired by a life crisis and the really big questions. Chaotic, funny and at moments heart-breakingly sad. 'A physical comedy talent' (Chortle.co.uk). Best Female Act at London International Solo Festival. 'Mesmerising silliness' (Fest).

Mandy never had a birthday party. So she’s socially inappropriate. All the therapists she’s sacked said she had 'abandonment issues', but it’s because she didn’t blow out any candles on a cake. 'Brutally funny' (Guardian).

Rob Kemp / Heroes

Róisín and Chiara / Heroes

TFLP

Pressured by the success of The Elvis Dead, Rob Kemp returns with ten(!) shows stuck to a spinning wheel. He'll perform whichever show it stops on. The idiot. Edinburgh Comedy Awards Best Newcomer nominee.

A bubbling, slightly twisted blend of Mighty Boosh, House of Pain and James Joyce. Call it stream-of-consciousness, messy art-house disco funk comedy. 'Sensual, spiritual, staggering... hilariously unpredictable' SSSSS (ThreeWeeks). A two-woman character comedy bonanza.

People often get awkward, white, Northern Tom Short (Funhouse Champion 2014) and awkward, white, Northern Tom Little (Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year 2015) mixed up. Can’t think why. Award-winning stand-up.

Comedy’s greatest brings his best important gravity absurdist show. Come and heal, forgive the self, be warm. I bring fragmented memory, a small vocabulary and absurdity. He’s very funny. 'The king of postmodern nonsense' (Telegraph).

Ayelen Parolin Cie

Collaboration between Cie Divisar and Woman's Move

FAK

A quintet between pianist/composer and four dancers questioning belonging to a group. Abstract and mathematical, the piece grows from the physical tenacity and commitment of its performers. A power highly sensitive, held together by an ever finer thread.

TFAUP

In a light and playful form, the duet Anchor depicts the dilemma between love and desire. Can we want what we already have, can we love what we are addicted to?

Einstein's Dreams

Folding Echoes

International Collegiate Theatre Festival presents Morehead State University

Joseph Lee Wai-Nang

A critical and rational take on contemporary dance – Folding Echoes breaks rules of dance as a form and its structure. Through symbols in choreography, Joseph Lee seeks to reach the essence of dance in a dialectical approach.

Einstein’s Dreams is a performance piece heavily influenced by the Cirque aesthetic. While following young Einstein through his dreams of relativity, we encounter worlds in which time acts in strange and provocative ways.

Kinkens is old Scots for the evasive answers to the questions of overly curious children. A theatrically spectacular dance radio broadcast on everything you've ever wondered about isolationism, anxiety, depression and the meaning of life.

Choreographed to the music of Christine and the Queens and Perfume Genius, this piece is about womanhood. Three dancers create portraits, from different perspectives and through a feminist lens, of the place of women in our society.

The only two children born in a Yorkshire village for a generation grow up but cannot grow apart. Blackthorn tenderly explores the tiny changes that pull us from the places and people we love.

A family reunion is ruined by surreal plot twists, and the efforts of a con-man are strangely disrupted in two funny, disturbing shorts by Caryl Churchill. A pacy, entertaining treat exploring the savagery and fragility of family life.

The game is simple: players must take turns to collect body parts and build a woman. Through monologues fleshed out with spoken word and physical theatre, this play travels from head to toe exploring young British womanhood.

Imagine a world where every teen comes of age by receiving an empty box. In this unique drama about coping with pressures and expectations from others, Jack is curious when he receives his box as a birthday present.

Brawn

Saturday's a great day to die. Based on the classic Solomon Grundy nursery rhyme, born on a Monday is a grimly humorous look at life, death, and all the days in-between.

Brawn is a portal into the world of a young man named Ryan. A world consumed by image and obsession, where self-worth is measured in muscle mass and where self-improvement becomes self-destruction.

Crave

Curio (A Cabinet of Curiosities)

FLP

Drama

True-life, Historical

Penn Theatre Ensemble

Woodplayers

Curio follows a researcher’s obsession with conjoined twins MillieChristine McKoy: 19th-century slaves and freak-show celebrities. Visiting lectures, musical sideshows and American TV, Danielle Bainbridge’s play explores nostalgia for a past that makes us sick.

Deeply tender and sensuous, Sarah Kane’s Crave is set in an unnamed city from which voices and images spring. The play charts the disintegration of human minds under the pressures of love, loss and desire.

Eat Your Heart Out

Edinburgh University Theatre Company

Eight is daring and loud, with biting humour and an exhilarating power that thumps throughout the script. Made up of eight monologues, the play examines the effect that a sex, image and commerce-obsessed society has on young people.

A coming-of-age comedy about a woman’s struggle for selfacceptance amidst the fitness-focused, body-positive Instagram generation. Full of humour and heart, this devised work focuses on the most fatal mental illness: eating disorders.

JAM Productions

This show is about memory (but not nostalgia). Come see ex-lovers argue about when they were happiest, police officers accidentally rewrite history and Rasputin dance like no one's watching. It's a ritual, a sacrifice, a purge.

The police just took Jamal away and what's left is a shell-shocked class. Who knew Jamal? What did he do? What will happen next? A play about fear, friendship and the creeping polarisation of our society.

Tectonic Theatre’s The Laramie Project is a masterpiece in verbatim, a chronicle of the 1998 real-life kidnap and murder of Matthew Shepard, a 21-year-old student from Wyoming. Using over 200 interviews, this play exposes this hate crime.

Kit Finnie (Barbican Poet, Roundhouse Collective) grapples with the story of movie star Mabel Normand and the scandal that swallowed her legacy. But ghosts haunt the Hollywood machine, and there are dangers in disturbing them.

What’s your biggest ever lie? Claude the fraud, a deliciously despicable Frenchman we love to hate, tells a tale so false it could almost be true. Seamus Collins’s absurdly comic tale of betrayal, barbiturates and a brew.

Shakespeare’s beloved romantic comedy is freshly updated to the lush setting of 1980s Sicily. Wealthy families gather for a languid summer of revelries, and romances bloom between four lovers in this immersive emotionally charged adaptation.

War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength. Close Up Theatre (sell-out 2004-2017) presents Orwell’s hauntingly prescient classic, where every thought is recorded, monitored and restricted: where Big Brother is always watching.

The flat is empty. Everyone had moved out. Except for Laura and a dog named Roy and tonight she is staring down the lens of her 30th birthday. One woman's intimate and darkly comic coming-ofage story.

A foray into the absurd with musical sketches, Strong Tea is a pure comedy in the sense that the writers couldn't quite drum up a coherent plot. The jokes might be alright though.

Cameron's in a bit of a pickle. He's got the opportunity to have what all men desire: a threesome. Not so simple when you have a jealous, blood-lusting girlfriend that commands his every move.

Sailor thrives in bars, dives and doss houses. He lives for robbery and expulsion. Join him. This award-winning dark piece of theatre by Liam Rudden will leave you disturbed yet spellbound. Adult themes, nudity. Not for the easily offended.

3 Years, 1 Week and a Lemon Drizzle

This Is Just Who I Am

Alexandra and Kate Donnachie

Miranda Prag

TFK

TFKP

The show pieces together Alexandra and Kate Donnachie's sometimes heartbreaking but often hilarious memories of growing up together and managing their close bond when older sister, Alexandra, developed a severe eating disorder.

This is a show about identity, authenticity and the murky area in between. An unashamedly nonsensical, excruciatingly honest, hilariously satirical portrait of the people we try to be when we don't feel like ourselves.

I 2 9 We are committed to making your visit to Summerhall an enjoyable experience and we are working to make our venue as accessible as possible. The building is B-listed and is over one hundred years old and not all of our spaces are fully accessible. If coming into Summerhall using the main entrance please be aware that there are nine steps up to reception and the steps do not have a handrail. Our step free access is through the side entrance on Summerhall Square. The Royal Dick bar and restaurant is situated to your right as you come in (with a ramp at the rear of the bar) and there is a ramp directly ahead of you that leads to the reception, box office, shop and café and our accessible venues. Although there is no on-site parking at Summerhall, especially during the Fringe, there is parking using either pay and display machines or single yellow line spaces on Summerhall Square beside our step free access. Please be aware that this street is a dead end, and quite short and therefore parking there can be quite competitive. We have lift access to some of the first floor spaces and the basement spaces. Further information about individual spaces and shows can be obtained from the box office. If you would like more information about the accessibility of particular shows, or if you wish to arrange a familiarisation tour of the venue prior to the festival, please contact us by phone on 0131 560 1581 or by email on info@summerhall.co.uk Our staff are here to help and if there is anything you need assistance with please do not hesitate to ask. www.summerhall.co.uk/about/accessibility Children’s shows

All smiles on the Royal Mile We have a couple of nifty ways to help make your Fringe experience even better. The Virgin Money Half Price Hut offers hundreds of half-price tickets, so you can afford to try something a little different to the norm. Find it on the Mound 8-27 August.
