Is this your first time to Edinburgh?
This is the first time Effectus Theatre has visited the Fringe. However, Sara has been a frequent performer at the Fringe for many years.
We love the unique experience of the Edinburgh Fringe festival, there is nothing and nowhere else like it in the world.
There really is something for everybody, and this year there is our gorgeous show for the very youngest fringe goers, babies aged 0 – 24 months and their families and caregivers.
What are the big things you’ve learned since 2023 and have you absorbed any of the lessons yet?
We were not at the Fringe in 2023. But over the last year, we have gone on a big learning curve as a company. We are still waiting to absorb it all and see our festival visit become real.

What should your audience see at the festivals after they’ve seen your show?
We love The Amazing Mr Bubble Man. He is such a crucial part of the children’s Edinburgh experience. We go see him every year. He once turned our son into a steam train. He’s wonderful!
