A Fringe Quickie (#168) with ‘A Giant On The Bridge’

What coffee would you/your show be, and why?

If our show were a coffee we’d be an Affogato, because we have a delicious, crowd-pleasing ball of beautifully performed live music (ice cream) surrounded by a proper kick in the backside of emotive and heart-rending real-life narrative.

What do you/your show do to make an audience’s heart beat faster?

Our show shakes up folk, hip hop and indie music, alternating that with numerous surprising twists and turns of interwoven stories drawn from real experiences around the criminal justice system in Scotland. Just like the Giant in one of our stories, you certainly will know if you have a heart or not at the end.

How will the audience remember you the morning after?

The morning after our show, the audience is guaranteed to still be singing the chorus to at least one of our bangin’ tunes (probably “I know you want to press the “Fuck It!” button”) while nursing some big questions about justice and heartlessness.
