STORYTELLERS AT THE EDINBURGH FRINGE
If you’re at the Fringe, here are a couple of excellent shows by past True Story storytellers that we highly recommend checking out:
THAT’S WHY MUMS GO TO SWITZERLAND - Bonnie Oddie
5th-31st Aug, 11:25am, Underbelly Bristo Square
Book Here
Three generations of pissed-off women living together under one roof, and a trip to Dignitas. A raw, sharply funny look at a family in chaos. A marriage breakdown, teenage upheaval, dependency, love (“whatever that is”), a mother openly preparing for the end, and “the joys of becoming a bad mother and a bad daughter at exactly the same time”. Winner: Best Solo Show at Riverside Studios Bitesize Festival.
FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION - Jess Carrivick
5th-30th Aug (not 18th), 7:20pm, Guilded Balloon Teviot Book Here
The Academy invites you to witness every single movie the Carrivick siblings ever made between 1995-2001... ish. Digitised, dramatised and unlawfully re-edited into a kaleidoscopic hour of nostalgic cinematic characters. This BBC New Comedy Award and Sketch Off finalist is 'gearing up to conquer' (Dawn French). Directed by the award-winning Elf Lyons. Expect parody, pastiche and popcorn.
