Voicebox: Edinburgh Fringe

"There's a very lovely family based in Wisconsin who has on multiple occasions driven through the night to NYC to attend one of our shows, sometimes in costume. We love you, Mitchells!"

"I couldn’t be an artist without my family and partner, they have supported me through thick and thin and believed in my artistic career when I did not."

"Truly everyone can gain an enormous amount from this show, and we can’t wait to change people’s perspective on how society must improve how people who are “different”, or “awkward” are treated."

"To see the audience being affected like that, and engaging with one another, asking questions, sharing compassion, being vulnerable, it’s been pretty special."

"I think it’s impossible to have so many talented people in the same room having a good time and not have something great come from it. Keep it silly. Make it a safe space to fail and laugh off the stuff that doesn’t work."

"Yes there are awards and opportunities to be had, but this is not a competition. We can all help uplift each other and we can all benefit. I can’t wait for all the freaks I’m going to meet. It’s going to be a big big party."

"When I sit at a desk I start thinking that maybe instead of writing I should just repeatedly smash my own head into the wooden top as that’d be more fun than being locked up in this self-imposed detention."

"A couple came up to us after the show and shared with us that they had recently lost their child, and that we made them laugh for the first time IN months, and that they were just so grateful. I went to the bathroom and just sobbed."

"The Edinburgh Fringe Festival is the most storied & iconic fringe festival in the world and it deserves to have San Francisco’s most storied & iconic pair of 8th Best Legs to mar that reputation"

"Children and inebriated adults share a lot of similarities, and you know pretty quickly if you’ve chosen someone to come up who is going to be a bit of a loose cannon! "

"We humans just keep going heartbreak after heartbreak, it’s great and devastating in equal measures and of course it’s also very funny."

"I have been told not to come to Edinburgh with expectations and to try and be present and understand my job is to perform every day, not to read reviews and obsess about certain things that will fluctuate like attendance."
