After a dazzling run of sell-out shows and critical acclaim across two festival runs, four Soho Theatre residencies and two UK tours, Rosalie Minnitt’s smash-hit character Clementine is back at the Edinburgh Fringe in a brand new 2.0 show!
Following an epic quest to find her true love (spoiler: it was her all along), Lady Clementine is back by overwhelming demand (hers).
She’s escaping her small town and heading off to The Big City for the season. But with neither sense nor sensibility, will history’s most helpless heroine make her mark and take the world by storm? And will her undiscovered genius finally be realised? She’s been thinking about having her first thought, after all.
In this eagerly anticipated return, Rosalie Minnitt (BBC One’s How Are You? It’s Alan (Partridge); Radio 4’s Lady Clementine Is Looking For Love; Funny Women Awards winner 2025 will unleash Miss Clementine onto the world once more. Think Gen Z Jane Austen on Adderall.
In this second chapter, we follow Lady Clem – at a safe distance – as she takes on high society, scandal and, most terrifying of all, self-awareness. But, as revolution (general) rages on around her, will she keep her cool or lose her head entirely? Beneath Clem’s chaos is a story about legacy, rivalry and not being quite where you want to be in life.
Summing up the allure of this anti-hero, creator and performer Rosalie Minnitt says: “Clementine celebrates the complicated parts of being a woman in the 2020s. I’ve had hundreds of DMs + messages + emails telling me about how Clementine made them feel. Women saw this show multiple times. Then they brought their friends and sisters and mums and aunts. One girl came four times and she wrote to me: ‘if someone asked me why I love women and love being a woman, I’d show them this show’.”
Rosalie Minnitt is an award-winning comedy writer, performer, and a regular on the London comedy circuit. An alumnus of the Soho Theatre Labs and The Free Association, her early writing spans BBC Bitesize and CBBC, earning her an RTS North Award.
Minnitt broke out as a major comedic talent with the original debut of her character show, which the British Comedy Guide named one of the Top-Reviewed Shows of the Edinburgh Fringe. Following a twice-extended, sold-out run at the Soho Theatre, The Guardian named it one of the Top 10 Comedy Shows of the year, calling it “frenetic, neurotic and time-bending” before profiling her in a major G2 feature. The show also garnered rave reviews from The Telegraph and Chortle, which described it as “delirious, demented stuff.” Beyond her solo work, Minnitt’s collaborative credits include performing alongside Edinburgh Comedy Award winner Jordan Brookes in his acclaimed show Fontanelle.
