With Edinburgh Fringe in full swing, all of us here at Funny Women Towers are excited to see some female comic talent making its mark on the Royal Mile. We were very lucky throughout July to see some incredible Fringe previews around London, leaving us pretty sure that this might be our favourite Fringe festival yet!

 We’re especially excited for Maddy Anholt’s show, Maddy’s Many Mouths, which, after a series of London previews, is currently running at Surgeon's Hall. As a talented writer and actress, Maddy’s new show gives her a chance to show her skills to the max, as she tells the story of a woman with a peculiar compulsion to mimic everyone she meets. From childhood to adulthood, London to South Africa, Maddy’s journey sees her try to remember her true self – playing plenty of other parts along the way!

You can catch Maddy’s Many Mouths at The Space @ Surgeon’s Hall, Theatre 2 from 2nd – 10th August (not 4th), daily at 19.05pm. For more information, click HERE.
