Every cloud has its silver lining, and even if that cloud seems to encapsulate the entire Fringe festival and the record poor ticket sales that are plaguing the venues, it is important to find it to carry on and enjoy this celebration of the Arts. Soldiering on is what us Brits do, just rewind the Olympics opening ceremony on your Sky + and let Kenneth Branagh guide you through the bite size History lesson.
Lynne Parker, founder and executive producer of Funny Women has written an article on her Huffington Post page that divulges the benefits and hardships of running a showcase at the Fringe. READ MORE.
Funny Women at the Fringe are proud to present today’s showcase, which will be hosted by the brilliant Jessica Fostekew, who was a finalist in the 2012 Funny Women Awards! Featuring in the show will be Sarah Callaghan, Amy Gledhill and Sophie-Walsh Harrington.
With open arms we are welcoming back lara A king, 2011’s Funny Women Awards winner, who has just returned from a camping trip with Patsy the VW Campervan! Watch out for Patsy next week when we take her flyering with us for lara’s show ‘People Pleaser’!
