“Everyone I love is there, being talented and clever and good looking. Heaven, heaven, heaven.”
WHO: Annabel Marlow
WHAT: “From SIX (Edinburgh Fringe original cast), Public (Vaults) and several perfect pictures (Instagram) Annabel Marlow makes her solo debut. Enjoy a comedy gig (we’re making it a thing!) of original music, perfect singing (not even kidding), and absolute vibes. This show explores love (whatever that is!), contraception (modern!), graphic designers (nooo!), having opinions (or not!), overthinking (she sounds cute!) and just how much attention one girl apparently needs. So put down the knitting, and bring a hot single friend to watch Annabel perform all these songs and jokes about literally herself and maybe three others.”
WHERE: Pleasance Courtyard – The Attic (Venue 33)
WHEN: 20:30 (60 min)

Is this your first time to Edinburgh?
This is my fourth time at Edinburgh! I was in the first ever cast of the musical Six as the original Katherine Howard in 2017 which was obviously insane and perfect. And since then I’ve been going with either my brother or a bunch of friends, not performing, but to watch a billion shows and have a billion beers. I always cry on the last day because I have to wait a whole year till I can go back to the heaven that is the Fringe. Everyone I love is there, being talented and clever and good looking. Heaven, heaven, heaven.
What are the big things you’ve learned since 2022 and have you absorbed any of the lessons yet?
This year I’ve just really had to really gosh darn believe in myself because, apart from all the gorgeous people at Stamptown (my producers) and the support of my family and friends, I really am just like doing quite an insane thing. Putting on makeup and lovely outfits and getting up in front of people and basically being like ‘here’s all this stuff I wrote I hope you like it.’ You really have to back yourself and believe in what you’re doing but sometimes that can be hard when it’s just you writing in your room without showering for days what who said that? And what really helps is giving the support I want for myself, to other people doing the same thing around me. Be good to people, help people when you can, give advice, be kind, and it literally all comes back to you in some way or another!
Tell us about your show.
I wrote my show, and the lovely folks over at Stamptown are producing it! It’s me at the keyboard singing with one of the best voices you might ever hear, being a bit funny, being a bit sad, telling some stories and having a jolly old time. I did 3 previews in London which all went super well! Scary though lemme tell ya. I’m not sure what will happen after Edinburgh but my money’s on a Netflix special.
What should your audience see at the festivals after they’ve seen your show?
Well firstly I will plug the other show I’m doing which is a brand-new musical called ‘Public’ which is just two hours before my show also in the Courtyard at 6:30!!! It’s hilarious, moving, the music is unreal I must say. Come come come.
Obviously all the other Stamptown shows are going to be epic party times, with very talented clever lovely people who you should really grab tickets to see before they are all shipped on a boat to Hollywood on the 1st of September undoubtedly. My best friend Rosie is directing and producing an original musical called ’We’;; Have Nun of it’ at Underbelly. My friend Rosalie Minnitt is doing her one-woman comedy extravaganza called Clementine. John Tothill, Lorna Rose Treen. My friend James’ ‘Pleading Stupidity’, my friend Cat’s ‘Artist/Muse’. SO MANY.
