All our coverage from the 2018 festivals.

+3 Interview: Athena Kugblenu: Follow the Leader

Posted in *Written Interviews, EdFestivals 2018, Plus 3 2018 – Features by

“I spent 18 months having a go at Trump and Brexit supporters but then I flooded my kitchen in the stupidest way and I thought to myself ‘I’m an idiot too.”

WHO: Athena Kugblenu, Performer

WHAT: “On a hovercraft, no one can hear you bark… Fringe legend and Olivier Award winner Guy Masterson’s uproarious tales of woe, a dog and transcontinental wedlock. The dog came with a package… it could not be abandoned in Paris, and the next eight years tested everything: marriage, career and sanity. A tormented, often hysterical life of poo, piss and pooches.”

WHERE: Underbelly, Bristo Square – Clover (Venue 302) 

WHEN: 17:30 (60 min)

Is this your first time to Edinburgh?

No, I have been going to Edinburgh for years. I went for a few years as a new comedian and checked out all the venues and nice places to eat. Satisfied I knew where to get a good feed I could afford, last year I took up my debut hour and this year I am bringing up my second hour!

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

I recorded an episode of Museum of Curiosity last month. That was incredible, trying to keep my cool with Lee Mack to my left and John Lloyd to my right.

Tell us about your show.

It’s called Follow the Leader. It’s called Follow the Leader because I think at this point in history in the western world at least, we have the worst leaders. We don’t even have good people to replace them with. But then maybe it’s a reflection of this point in history just having the worst people – so our leaders are the best of a bad bunch. I wrote the show because I spent 18 months having a go at Trump and Brexit supporters but then I flooded my kitchen in the stupidest way and I thought to myself ‘I’m an idiot too. Some people vote for despots. Others ruin their laminate. Swings and roundabouts’. I wrote it and I’m working with So Comedy and Broken Robot productions to bring it to Edinburgh. Afterwards, I’ll be giving birth but maybe I will perform it in 2019, if I can find a baby friendly green room.

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

They should check out Sindhu Vee, Eleanor Tiernan, Kemah Bob, Kwame Asante and someone else they have never heard of – it’s important to take a gamble when up in Edinburgh. I also saw some good plays last year so definitely venture away from stand up, otherwise you will run out of laughter.

+3 Interview: Brett Goldstein: What Is Love Baby Don’t Hurt Me

Posted in *Written Interviews, EdFestivals 2018, Plus 3 2018 – Features by

“It’s a stand up show about love, sex, porn and addiction.”

WHO: Brett Goldstein, Performer

WHAT: “Sex. Porn. Love. Addiction. Can Brett tell the difference? Brett Goldstein, award-winning comic, actor and writer, returns with a new stand-up show about relationships, psychology, living in a post-porn world and the hell that is being in love. Come help him through this difficult time. ‘Sharply written, impeccably delivered, always charming… Warm, wise stuff’ (Daily Telegraph). ‘Fast paced, dark and brutal, and performed with skill and ease… Oddly philosophical and fascinating.’ (WhatsOnStage.com).”

WHERE: Pleasance Courtyard – Beneath (Venue 33) 

WHEN: 19:00 (60 min)

Is this your first time to Edinburgh?

This is my 12th time coming to Edinburgh I think. I spent four years doing plays up here. Then started doing stand up. Did a new act show. Then three mixed bills. Then three solo shows. This is my fourth solo show. I’m tired even explaining that.

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

I went to a dinner party. Never again.

Tell us about your show.

It’s a stand up show about love, sex, porn and addiction. I wrote it. Live Nation are producing it. I’ve done lots of previews before Edinburgh. I might take it on tour after.

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

Something that isn’t comedy so they aren’t comparing the two. Maybe, a nice opera or some mime.

Is this your first time to Edinburgh?

7th solo show at the Edinburgh Fringe, my fave number! The first 6 were just a run-up to this masterpiece 😀

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

My wife had a baby using all her own ingredients plus a sprinkling of spices from yours truly.

Tell us about your show.

I’ve been working on these jokes for the past 10 years during a pilgrimage trip through the Inca Trail and living with people in a mountain village surviving on lizards and leaves… or I’m going to write it this week, one of the two.

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

+3 Interview: Infinita

Posted in *Written Interviews, EdFestivals 2018, Plus 3 2018 – Features by

“Since 2001 we have then performed in 32 different countries, some 150 performances a year…”

WHO: Gianni Bettucci, Director of Familie Flöz

WHAT: “After sell-out success of Hotel Paradiso and a five-star hit with Teatro Delusio, Germany’s mask theatre masters return to the Fringe with their next brilliant, visual comedy. In Infinita, a cast of irresistible, larger than life characters are seen both as warring children and as residents of an old people’s home. The wily games of nursery one-upmanship seem hardly to change with the passage of time. Survival of the craftiest is still the rule of the day. Infinita plays out in a succession of increasingly hilarious scenes, combining poignancy, astute observation and some superbly skilled slapstick.”

WHERE: Pleasance Courtyard – The Grand (Venue 33) 

WHEN: 13:30 (60 min)

MORE: Click Here!

Is this your first time to Edinburgh?

It is our fifth time, we are old Fringers so to speak. We started in 2001, then 2004, 2015 and 2016. We started small, in a small venue in George Street and ended up in 2016 in the Grand selling over 16.000 tickets. Its being a long, tiring and rewarding journey.

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

The international success. We arrived in Edinburgh in 2001 being and unknown German company. Right after we started receiving calls from all over the places. Since 2001 we have then performed in 32 different countries, some 150 performances a year…

Tell us about your show.

It is one of our best shows W have been performing INFINITA for 10 years now, but it is the first time that comes to Edinburgh. As all the other productions by Familie Floez is a collective creative process where all the actors participates and there is a director, an external eye so to speak, which coordinate all comes out from our improvisation. INFINITA is the third production of a company who came together in 1996 at the Folkwang Schule in Essen, at the time lead by Pina Bausch. We started in 4 people, we are now over 40, with 4 different companies touring at the same time 4 different productions.

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

We love to visit the circus hub, or any of the international or circus shows… so many talented friends in the program!!!! Portrait in Motion for instance is a pearl!!!!

+3 Interview: Dummy

Posted in *Written Interviews, EdFestivals 2018, Plus 3 2018 – Features by

“The show connects my personal narrative, as a kid growing up with a developmental disability, to a broader culture rife with neurological disorders and overmedication.”

WHO: Anders Lee, Performer/Writer

WHAT: “Diagnosed at a young age with an autistic spectrum disorder, Midwestern American comedian Anders Lee brings his signature, sincere and plainspoken manner to the stage as he recounts struggles with school, work and dating while being ‘on the spectrum’. Through funny, heartwarming and thought-provoking stories, Lee dives headfirst into questions of disability, education and what it means, in our hypercapitalist, technology-saturated age, to truly be ‘dumb’.”

WHERE: Bourbon Bar – Room 2 (Venue 333) 

WHEN: 13:00 (60 min)

MORE: Click Here!

Is this your first time to Edinburgh?

My first year was in 2017. It was a challenge to say the least. Every day my show began right as my venue opened in an area where punters were slim to none. Nevertheless, I pressed on, giving the best performance I could each time to crowds of ten, three and, sometimes, one. At the beginning of the Festival, my show was pure, straight stand-up. An hour of carefully crafted, impersonal jokes. But as the Fringe progressed, I found a positive response in stepping outside my comfort zone and delivering more vulnerable material.

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

Since returning to the United States, I have focused on developing a solo show that combines elements of standup with storytelling and spoken word. I’ve been able to get feedback and direction from artists with varying performance backgrounds. Creating “Dummy” has been a great experience over the past few months, and I’m very excited to bring it to Edinburgh.

Tell us about your show.

“Dummy” is about the autistic spectrum and the notion that, perhaps, “autism” is more of a cultural phenomenon than a medical one. The show connects my personal narrative, as a kid growing up with a developmental disability, to a broader culture rife with neurological disorders and overmedication. After the Festival, I plan on touring “Dummy” in different cities across the United States.

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

Peter Michael Marino’s “Show Up” and “Show Up, Kids!”
Chris Davis’ “Drunk Lion”
Walter DeForest’s Van Gogh Find Yourself
Lee Minora’s White Feminist

+3 Interview: The Cloak and Dagger Show

Posted in *Written Interviews, EdFestivals 2018, Plus 3 2018 – Features by

“We are a tiny freakish History obsessed baby that has come out screaming into the world.”

WHO: Cary Galia, Director 

WHAT: “Dive into the horrors of history in our immersive walking tour and show. Explore the darker side of history and end the night with a performance of a true story of murder and revenge bringing history to life!”

WHERE: Sweet Grassmarket – Grassmarket 3 (Venue 18) 

WHEN: 20:50 (120 min)

MORE: Click Here!

Is this your first time to Edinburgh?

As an event, absolutely!

We are a tiny freakish History obsessed baby that has come out screaming into the world.

However as visitors no. Such a beautiful city!

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

I would love to say, setting up the company. Winning a Certificate of Excellence Award from Tripadvisor. Falling in Love…

but I’d have to say punching a prince in the face…

Tell us about your show.

The entire experience (Tour and Show) evolved and revolve around a true story that just fell into my lap.
I have always been somewhat of an obsessive when it comes to history so when I came across this 18th century, true story of murder, revenge, in the backdrop of war, all focused in a heart to heart conversation between two people, I was shocked!

“How has this never been done before!”

I spoke with the family and they told me they never spoke much about it as they found it quite personal and it was then (surprisingly!) they asked me to make something out of it. They had seen some of my work in the past and asked if I could write a play based on it. I felt quite a big burden of responsibility.
Things changed as I wrote it though. I maintained historic accuracy, and language as much as possible (under the vicious scrutiny of two historians fact checking me) but so many times I came across something which angered me. I realised that the story unfolded the more people would miss the true in-depth significance of the history.

I thought about creating exposition within the text (like some sort of historic, native advertising) but it just diluted the visceral nature of the story.

That’s why I designed the tour to add as a precursor to the show and create an experience that could be all encompassing for the history that we were trying to tell.

We released our first one in London, more as a one off event, however it did so well that we decided to start again the following summer. We did well enough to get recognition from our Tripadvisor reviews and ended up winning the Certificate of Excellence Award.

Then the wonderful @the1Stefania actually came to see us and stayed behind a while after the show and convinced me to bring it up to the Edinburgh fringe. Which now we have done and have designed a tour specifically for Edinburgh, that will hopefully disgust, shock and delight many a person.

So overall I would say the company came together out of a passionate desire to tell the side of history that does not get told.

We will be in London where we have another Tour and we will be releasing another next year that takes a very different focus but still about unspoken history.

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

CROW – @bird_radio

Folk Horror, Ted Hughes poetry, inspired songwriting!

What more need I say.

+3 Interview: CROW

Posted in *Written Interviews, EdFestivals 2018, Plus 3 2018 – Features by

“This deserves to be global.”

WHO: Stefania Bochicchio, producer

WHAT: “CROW is the genre-defying new stage show and new album by vocalist Bird Radio – ‘folk-horror of the darkest hue’ (fRootsMag.com) – based on poetry from Ted Hughes’ 1970 masterpiece on grief, Crow: From The Life And Songs Of The Crow. It is a unique collaboration with a band featuring sonic duo Pig7 that works with live processing, found sound and synthesis to create powerful atmospheres, providing an immersive and otherworldly sonic terrain for Bird Radio to channel, through his voice, the spirit of the ultimate trickster, Crow. Poetry, songwriting and performance like you have never seen or heard.”

WHERE: Just Festival at St John’s – Church at St John’s (Venue 127) 

WHEN: 19:00 (60 min)

MORE: Click Here!

Is this your first time to Edinburgh?

This will be my tenth consecutive Fringe Festival….I have been (and continue to be) a PR, producer, director, strategy consultant, award initiator….I am bound to have forgotten something

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

I have been made one of the four UK co-director of the International Theatre Institute (ITI) the world’s largest performing arts organisation founded in 1948 by theatre and dance experts and UNESCO. I am terribly honoured and my candidature, befittingly, was mentioned to me during EdFringe 2017.

Tell us about your show.

As it so often happens at the Fringe (as in life, but even more so at the Fringe) you really have to seize the moment: during a chance meeting last year in Nicolson Street with Mikey Kirkpatrick, who was collaborating with one of the shows I was doing PR for (Losing It!) and performing a solo show under his stage name of Bird Radio, he told me that he had just received the go ahead from Ted Hughes’ widow and his Estate to put to music the poems of the CROW cycle.
This was unprecedented in the 20 years since Ted Hughes’ death (whose anniversary, coincidentally, is this year) and it perked up my attention immediately: a great shot of adrenaline to wipe away the third week mental fog.

Mikey there and then asked me if I wanted to be involved in this project and I jumped at the chance.
The CD is now ready and it is wonderful: for a number of years I was a music journalist and this is marvellous music, full of nuances and layers of sonic, unexpected delights.

We had a very intimate secret gig in London and we did not expect how powerful and subterranean the music turned up to be live, it just acquired a life of its own.

The show will have had a world premiere at the renowned Port Eliot Festival at the end of July and a single, all out gig, Edinburgh Premiere live music event in St. John’s Church at the end of Princes Street the 25th August, part of Just Festival.

We have already offers for dates in Italy, London and Prague.

This deserves to be global.

This album and stage show is a unique collaboration between Mikey Kirkpatrick (Bird Radio) and duo Pig7 who work with live processing, found sound and synthesis to create powerful atmospheres, providing an immersive and otherworldly sonic terrain for Bird Radio to channel through his voice the spirit of the ultimate trickster, Crow.

We decided to go for just one, spectacular date at the Fringe to make it an event: maybe this goes against the grain of the accepted three weeks run, but I hope it will focus people’s attention: there is no “tomorrow’s performance”, one shot, one marvellous chance to catch this and say “I was there!”.

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

My heartfelt advice is go and see the best shows of many disparate genres: only then you will catch a real glimpse of the Edinburgh Fringe and why it is so important.

Go see an international company at the very top of their game, such as Familie Floez with their new show INFINITA (Peasance Grand), which will very likely be a sell out for the entire duration of the festival (so book in advance) but also go and see some intimate, personal and funny storytelling such as DUMMY (free Fringe- Bourbon Bar), by the American Anders Lee, who really managed to make lemonade out of his early age autistic diagnosis.

Delve into deliciously dark and firmly tongue-in-cheek musical cabaret with MAD WOMEN IN MY ATTIC and why not join a Jacobean tour of Edinburgh that turns into a play with THE CLOAK AND DAGGER SHOW (Sweet Venues)?

+3 Interview: Woyzeck

Posted in *Written Interviews, EdFestivals 2018, Plus 3 2018 – Features by

“Originally written in German, myself and Ollie Norton-Smith (the Director) are collating numerous translations and adaptations whilst also putting our own original spin on the narrative.”

WHO: Hamish Lloyd Barnes, Writer / Performer

WHAT: “A nation wakes up from war, the lake sits stagnant and eerie and all the while a record spins. Franz Woyzeck, a young soldier, grapples with his fragmented mind as he sinks deeper and deeper below the surface of reality. Attempting to provide for his illegitimate son and lover; rank and rule conspire to plunge Woyzeck into a kaleidoscopic dreamscape where nothing is as it seems and no one can be trusted. Following a sell-out 2017 Fringe debut, the award-winning Spies Like Us breathe new life into Buchner’s classic tale with their trademark explosive physical style.”

WHERE: Pleasance Dome – 10Dome (Venue 23) 

WHEN: 15:00 (60 min)

MORE: Click Here!

Is this your first time to Edinburgh?

This is our second year returning to Edinburgh as a company, though we have all been involved as part of Young Pleasance from as far back as 2012!

Our company is made up of seven Young Pleasance graduates and we performed our debut show ‘Our Man in Havana’ to a sell-out run last year at the Pleasance as part of the Pleasance’s XYP initiative. The show was an extremely fun and silly adaptation of Graham Greene’s novel in which we used a vacuum cleaner as the only prop!

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

In the last day of the festival last year we were included in Theatre Weekly’s ‘Best of the Fest’ as ‘Best Fringe Debut’ which we were extremely proud of. I know that’s technically still part of Edinburgh ’17 but I’ll stick to the rest of the questions I promise…

We also went on to perform ‘Our Man in Havana’ at the Pleasance in London over Christmas which was extremely exciting!

Tell us about your show.

Our new show is a fresh interpretation of Georg Büchner’s ‘Woyzeck’. Originally written in German, myself and Ollie Norton-Smith (the Director) are collating numerous translations and adaptations whilst also putting our own original spin on the narrative.

Edinburgh will be the first time we do the show but hopefully, it can have some form of life after the fringe, be it at Pleasance Islington or further afield…

It’s a show we’ve been thinking about doing for a while so we’re incredibly excited to premiere it and bring this amazing story to life with our own unique brand of physical storytelling.

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

God, such a huge question… As always there’s a ridiculous amount of amazing shows on offer.

‘Kenzuke’s Kingdom’ by Wild Child Productions looks beautiful, our fellow ex-XYP (blimey) show ‘Tobacco Road’ by Incognito Theatre is sure to be brilliant and I’ve heard great things about Poltergeist Theatre’s ‘Lights Over Tesco Car Park’…

We’re also returning with ‘Our Man in Havana’ for six shows only from 21st – 27th Aug (not 23rd) in Pleasance Two at 11:00 so be sure to catch that if you didn’t last year!

+3 Interview: From One Heart to Another

Posted in *Written Interviews, EdFestivals 2018, Plus 3 2018 – Features by

“It is a place where young people from every walk of life, background and ability come together to use the power of drama, music and dance to have fun, build confidence and develop their creativity.”

WHO: Sarah Lumby, Administrative Assistant

WHAT: “Inclusive theatre group The Theatre Shed will explore end of life and organ donation in a unique and inspiring way. A heart is a lot to hand over – and a lot to take. Kia is about to find out just how big hers is. She needs help. She’s fed up with the world. She’s growing up too fast, but who can help? From One Heart to Another looks at the exciting adventures a child goes on and the lessons we remember from our childhood when we’re really challenged to question how we see life.”

WHERE: theSpaceTriplex – Big (Venue 38) 

WHEN: 13:05 (75 min)

MORE: Click Here!

Is this your first time to Edinburgh?

Yes this is The Theatre Shed’s first time at Ed Fringe, this is a huge achievement for the company who have been building in strength from year to year, through hard work from the young people and their excellent artistic team.

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

I think the biggest thing for The Theatre Shed in the past year has been taking a production on tour, starting at Brighton Fringe, a home performance in Buckinghamshire and then taking on Edinburgh Fringe and also the huge decision to take on such a major topic as organ donation, which has stretched the young people and challenged audiences so far!

Tell us about your show.

The show is written by John Berry, directed by Brighton Fringe Children’s Choice award winner Viv Berry, and designed by CJ Reid.

The Theatre Shed is an exciting, inclusive theatre company based in the heart of Chesham. We were founded in 2005 and previously known as Shed at The Park. Neither ‘mainstream’ nor ‘disability’, our inclusivity offers an inspiring alternative theatre made up of an all-encompassing cross-section of the community. It is a place where young people from every walk of life, background and ability come together to use the power of drama, music and dance to have fun, build confidence and develop their creativity. We believe that theatre should be for everyone who’d like to participate, regardless of personal circumstances or background. There are no auditions, everyone has a part to play, just come along, have some serious fun and make friends at the same time.

From One Heart to Another has been to Brighton Fringe, a run of home performances and finishes the tour at Edinburgh Fringe.

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

Whilst we are at Edinburgh we will be taking our young people to see a couple of other shows and we were particularly interested in: https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/360-allstars.
