Is this your first time to Edinburgh?
This is my debut Edinburgh Fringe and something I have wanted to do for many, many years now. It’s been a BIG bucket list for me and now feels the right time to finally do it. It’s such an incredible and important occasion for performance and performers and every time I visit as a spectator, I am in awe of it and the company’s that work so hard to bring a show here.
What are the big things you’ve learned since 2023 and have you absorbed any of the lessons yet?
I’ve learnt a lot in recent years since the pandemic and not just 2023. I’ve learnt that life is far too short and sometimes you just have to go and do what’s right for you. To take risks which mostly turn out ok in the end. To let go of the small stuff and live life to the full. You have to put yourself out there and be authentic!
Tell us about your show.
The show is a thought provoking magic show about moments in time that define us. I initially wrote a couple of routines that have been a part of general shows that I do for a number of years and I wrote a piece for TV that unfortunately didn’t air. So rather than waste it I have turned it into an entire show that I am immensely proud of. It’s emotive, inspiring and has incredible moments of magic throughout.
Nell Hardy who is a fabulous writer and someone that writes and directs shows based around trauma has helped with the scripting and narrative of the show. She is an amazing person who has been a big help.
What should your audience see at the festivals after they’ve seen your show?
The big shout outs would be fellow magicians who always produce amazing work. They would be Arturo Brachetti, Ben Hart, Chris Dugdale and Colin Cloud.
Arturo Brachetti and his show Solo is absolutely incredible. I saw it a few years ago and it’s really great!
Ben is exceptional and his storytelling is so captivating.
Chris is in his 11th year at Ed Fringe and always produces a great show. He usually sells out too!
Colin has just landed a Vegas residency and is definitely one to go see
Other 2 stand outs are La Clique and Massaoke!
La Clique is a brilliant cirque show that is very funny.
And for the party goers it would have to be Massaoke who are Brilliant!
