#SNAPCHATZ Episode 18: A trio of creative risk-takers

Image

Today’s creative risk-takers, vying to clinch your ticket purchases at this year’s Edinburgh Fringe, are darkly comic new musical Potty the Plant, a gently irreverent reconsideration of the saintly classes from Hardly Working Promotions, and the perpetually eligible JJ Pyle!

#SNAPCHATZ is simple. I challenge all 2023 Fringe performers & creators to answer 3 questions and to sell you, dear reader, their show. Their answers are tossed into a digital hat, and published in quick-read trios. It’s a Fringe goer’s fastest and safest (no guerilla flyering!) way to find someone, or something, new.

If you like what you read, you’re intrigued, you bark a laugh or shed a tear, or you suspect some risk of lasting trauma, then click those links and buy a ticket, or 10!

Who are you/what is your show?

Potty The Plant – A new dark comedy musical

What sets your show apart from the rest?

Excruciatingly catchy tunes, the cutest tap dancing pot plant this side of the Mississippi and truly twisted humour. It’s like Scooby Doo for terrible people who love little shop of horrors.

Your dream audience turns up to see the show, who’s watching?

Jack Black, Kermit The Frog, A bunch of rich west end producers, Matt Stone and Trey Parker.

How to Find a Husband in 37 Years or Longer

created by JJ Pyle and Solo Heroes

Who are you/what is your show?

JJ Pyle, Actor. Writer. Waitress.

Show: How To Find A Husband in 37 Years (or Longer…)

My show is my failed relationships and my father, and my father’s failed relationships, so it’s about Love… Ummm?… OK then, Hope.

What sets your show apart from the rest?

My father’s storyline is recorded directly from his mouth, on a whim, and unbeknownst to him. I know now that that was not a nice or legal thing to do and I wasn’t planning on writing a play about it, but here we are.

Your dream audience turns up to see the show, who’s watching?

My dream audience would be 37 viable husbands (I realize I must specifically define viable), my brother and sister and bff’s Sasha and Megan (to get the laughs going) and 8 ladies lost in love.
