Is this your first time to Edinburgh?

This is our third time to Edinburgh! We lived in the UK for two years and were lucky enough squeeze in two Ed Fringes. We moved back to Australia last year, but we’ve saved our pennies and we’re coming back!

What’s the biggest thing to have happened to you since Festivals ’17?

It’s been a total whirlwind since our last fringe. So much has happened. But we made it to the TV alongside the big wigs this year. That was pretty mega for us. Hopefully, we’ll manage to sneak back on again soon.

Tell us about your show.

‘The Travelling Sisters’ is made up of Lucy Fox, Laura Trenerry, and Ell Sachs. We met at uni and have been creating, performing and producing together for four years. As well as working together we’re the best of mates which makes life and performing pretty damn exciting. Our show is a comedy sketch- fast-paced, wig laden, costume-heavy stupidity with a touch of the absurd. A tap-dancing cactus, a giant diva with a dental malfunction… that kind of thing. After Edinburgh, we’re taking it to Buckingham Palace.

What should your audience see at the festivals after they’ve seen your show?

Laura Davis: Ghost Machine. She is brilliant!
