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

It’s an out there choice but an affogato – strong intense coffee full of bold flavour, but mixed with the sweetness of ice cream! Who doesn’t want coffee and ice cream together?

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

Our story is a thriller told in real time, so you experience the action unfolding with the characters. It’s got everything from madcap Nicki Minaj dance routines, violent antagonists, to poetic lyrical speeches. It’s a feast for the senses.

What brings a nice show like yours to a place like the Edinburgh Fringe?

We have been to Edinburgh three times already – most recently with the Untapped Award Winning Blanket Ban. We are now back with a hard hitting thrilling piece of new work which wants to spark important political conversation! We love the fringe, the shows, the artists and the people!

OhOh is a clown physicall theatre show. A love story between circus clown and phisicall theatre all in a poetry and a slapstick flow. It s a show without words using the universal language of the body and mimic. A moment of fun poetry acrobatic and universal love, for all people from 7 years old.

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

We wouldn’t be coffee—we’d be a matcha because we are naturally different from all the rest.

What misconceptions do you think people have about you/your show – would you like to clear them up?

Because our show begins with a childhood tragedy, people will think that it is a sad show. It is not. It is one human’s experience on the path to happiness.

What brings a nice show like yours to a place like the Edinburgh Fringe?

A record player, 45s and a path to healing

What brings a nice show like yours to a place like the Edinburgh Fringe?

The Fringe is a world renowned venue to get plays seen by Audiences that are hungry for new exciting work. Leni’s Last Lament is an entertaining and thoughtful play with cabaret elements that works on many levels. Also very funny. This play could not be more suitable, given the times we’re in – and we’re dying to see how it plays for such an eclectic crowd.

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

If I told you it would give away some key surprises, and we wouldn’t want that. But let me say that the Audience is very much in for an unsuspecting ride that is more sinuous than the Loch Ness stretching in the morning before coffee.

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

Definitely not decaf haha. The show is non-stop associations from a subterranean place of desire and regret.

What brings a nice show like yours to a place like the Edinburgh Fringe?

I’m just a show, standing in front of an audience, asking them to love it.

There is no place more deserving to know the truth behind the most important trial since the invention of law – That time Gwyneth Paltrow went to a court in Utah. After having met with the lawyers on both sides and visited that very court room – we are ready to share this story.

What misconceptions do you think people have about you/your show – would you like to clear them up?

People are coming to our shows just to see me be a blonde, flawless, beautiful, powerful, goopy, queer icon of female sensuality. Whilst that may be true, it’s also worth knowing, though easily forgotten, that Joseph Martin is in the shows too.

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

Putting them on a ski slope with Gwyneth Paltrow.

If you/your show were a school subject what would you/it be and why?

Home economics – because you don’t realise how valuable it is until you’re a broke-ass adult, trying to make rent, keep the heating on, and feed yourself and your cat.

How will the audience remember you the morning after?

What is that delicious salty porky taste in my mouth?

What misconceptions do you think people have about you/your show – would you like to clear them up?

that you have to love Spam to come see the show. But it’s not about your love (or lack thereof) of Spam. It’s about MY love of Spam. So come on down if you’re a vegan, a meat eater, or anything in between – there’s always room for you!

You will never look at a cantaloupe melon the same way again.

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

44 Sex Acts in One Week is what the Italians call a “café corretto”, or a “correct coffee” – ie an espresso with a shot of booze. Why? The laughs will hit you fast and hard, give you an excellent buzz and send you out into the world a more charismatic and compelling person.

What misconceptions do you think people have about you/your show – would you like to clear them up?

Misconceptions about 44 Sex Acts is that it is just an hilarious Benny Hill romp. Yes, it is non-stop hilarious (we’ve had people dash to the bathroom because they were laughing so hard) yes, we do silly things with fruit. But, it’s also egalitarian, patriarchy-smashing, late-stage capitalism obliterating, empathic, relatable, and profound. How? Come see!

What brings a nice show like yours to a place like the Edinburgh Fringe?

Edinburgh Fringe is akin to a relationship that isn’t good for me – Every year I’m like, “I’m never going back”, then it’s, “A few days won’t hurt” but last year I only did a week felt very left out so will now to full runs until the end of time… probably.

How will the audience remember you the morning after?

A show of mine once got described as “anecdotal art” and that’s what I try to bring to all my shows. As well as that I hope this one will be remembered as a raw and honest memorable yarn with utmost hilarity.

If you/your show were a school subject what would you/it be and why?

P.E but with a forged sick-note, apart from when it’s long distance running where I’d run for 200m then hide behind a hedge smoking Superkings. There was an outdoor swimming pool at my school, we were once waiting for ages until we could swim in it, I asked what the hold up was and was told, “They’re fishing a dead seagull out of it!” My show definitely has this essence of Cornish feral and unruly.
