+3 Interview: Carmen Lynch: Lynched

“Is this what runners feel when they sign up for a marathon??”

WHO: Carmen Lynch, Writer & Performer

WHAT: “In her UK debut hour Lynched, Carmen Lynch (Inside Amy Schumer, The Late Show with David Letterman, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Conan) shares her twisted, singular stand-up comedy, which frequently dips into the dark side. Childless and drug-free (but only because of her heart murmur), she’ll share her views on Jesus, giraffes, scoliosis, her Spanish mother and, very often, death.”

WHERE: Laughing Horse @ The Counting House (Venue 170)

WHEN: 16:00 (60 min)

Is this your first time to Edinburgh?

This is my first time doing the Edinburgh Fringe Festival! Im from NY and have no idea what to expect. But everyone says you cry and lose your sh*t and get sick and I said “why not?” Life is short. Is this what runners feel when they sign up for a marathon??

Tell us about your show.

I wrote my show. This is all of my darkest material (I heard the UK likes it edgy!) and summers in the U.S. can be slow when it comes to road gigs. Also, I need to try haggis on toast. I did a few previews in London, and I’m excited to bring it to the fringe. Afterwards I guess I’ll take it wherever anyone wants to see it- if not then it’s time to go home and write more!

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

Katharine Ferns and Maria Shehata have great shows that are a must see! Also check out Joke Thieves for some massive laughs!
