Alumni Spotlight - Fringe Edition: Excitingly, three past True Story storytellers are bringing shows to the Edinburgh Fringe this August. So if you’re heading to the Fringe, check out and support these brilliant performers:
Life Would Be Pretty Dull Without Sex, Raves and MDMA by Bex Wall. A rip-roaring, naughty, funny tale that will have you laughing into the dark. Tickets here.
I Didn't Know I Was Polish by Kaitlyn Kelly. Offie-nominated show blending fast-paced comedy with gut-wrenching revelations about borders, self-worth and what it means to come from somewhere you’ve never been. Tickets here.
Jess Carrivick: For Your Consideration by Jess Carrivick. Inspired by her own home movies, Jess creates a universe of characters once meant for her living room. Each vignette is a cinematic tribute to her dressing-up box. Tickets here.
We can’t wait to see you at a show or workshop soon!
