Voicebox: Edinburgh Fringe

Kirst has a secret. Something she's kept from her friends for over 10 years, and it's causing her to live a double life…

“An exploration of grief in the digital age”

A perverse anthology of sex tales

"This is probably the last interview I do before my full descent into madness. The next you hear of me, I could be living in the woods, feeding off Salmon and trying to get mobile data so I can stream GB News."

Natasha's new show, 'Clown Sex', will be at Edinburgh Fringe Festival this August. 

"Before you commit to making a show to the fringe, it’s important to ask yourself *why* you’re doing it. What do you want to achieve? What is it that you’re hoping to buy up there? "

"When I’m trying to write or paint or otherwise make physical things, I can get a block because of their permanence. But when you’re performing live, when it’s over it’s over and all we have left are memories which are malleable and imperfect."

"A good week on the circuit, you’ll gig 5 times for 20 minutes. That’s just over an hour and a half total on stage and probably 15-30 hours in the car. At the fringe, you do an hour every single day, minimum."

"I went to what’s known in the US as a charter school, which is code for very weird and strange theatre kid school where no one does any sports and instead all must be in band or choir and learn Latin, the most useful language of all."

"I’ve been dreaming of taking my own show to The Fringe ever since I first went in 2017. Also, last year whenever I was out, I’d make myself say to people I met ‘well yeah I’m taking my show next year’ and get people excited, so now I like…have to."

"Our show is a fairground ride in the rain that’s going a little too fast before a handbrake turn takes you to Banksy’s Dismaland. But you’re finding it funny and you’re wanting to dance."

"I think the scale of Edinburgh and the magnitude gives you a feeling of dizzying heights like high altitude."
