+3 Interview: Angry Alan by Penelope Skinner

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

“ALAN is about a guy who feels misunderstood and left behind in America.“

WHO: Donald Sage Mackay, Actor

WHAT:“‘Looking out over the country, this country, where I was born and raised, I wonder what’s going to become of us. Because this can’t be the future, can it? Everyone just… changing the rules?’ Roger thinks the world’s gone mad. He hates his job, his ex-wife torments him and to top it all, his girlfriend just discovered feminism. Roger’s about to lose his shit. Until he discovers Angry Alan: online activist and “voice of reason”… A darkly comic new play about masculinity in crisis from award-winning Penelope Skinner performed by Donald Sage Mackay.”

Is this your first time to Edinburgh?

YES, thrilled to experience my first Festival!

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

Professionally… probably a major recurring role as a “baddie” in DEEP STATE for Fox TV opposite Mark Strong that just aired in the U.K. and is currently running in the U.S.

Tell us about your show.

ANGRY ALAN is about a guy who feels misunderstood and left behind in America, doesn’t get feminism and #metoo and is struggling to keep up with the changing world around him. Written by renowned feminist U.K. playwright, Penelope Skinner, and developed with an American actor (me) this play gives a uniquely funny and inside-out cross-cultural peek at why some men just don’t seem to be able to evolve and hints at reasons for the recent steps backward here and in the U.S.

ANGRY ALAN was originally developed at the Aspen Fringe Festival and in Delhi ahead of this world premiere production at Edinburgh. We are hoping to bring this production back to London for a run and then to New York and beyond. Also a TV pilot is in development.

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

Go check out Penelope Skinner’s other play, MEEK, and UNDERGROUND RAILROAD GAME both at Traverse. And check out SQUARE GO at Roundabout @ Summerhall.

+3 Interview: Chris Henry: Around the World in 80 Dates

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

“Up until this point, I’ve remained under the radar doing shows at the Laughing Horse Free Festival, which has been great for working on my craft and putting pennies in my pocket, but this year I have my sights set on bigger goals.”

WHO: Chris Henry, Performer/Comedian

WHAT: “Scottish Comedian of the Year finalist Chris Henry is back to take you on a whirlwind global gigglefest as he attempts to find The One. After sold-out, award-nominated performances around the world, this 40-year-old bachelor delivers the ultimate anti rom-com by hilariously dissecting our favourite cliches with razor-sharp stand-up, replacing them with 80 dates he hopes will take him from reformed playboy to the perfect husband. Prepare for a blind date like no other.”

WHERE: Underbelly, Bristo Square – Clover (Venue 139) 

WHEN: 20:10 (60 min)

Is this your first time to Edinburgh?

The first time I did my own show in Edinburgh was 2009 and the first show happened the day after a particularly gruesome break up that features heavily in this years show. Up until this point, I’ve remained under the radar doing shows at the Laughing Horse Free Festival, which has been great for working on my craft and putting pennies in my pocket, but this year I have my sights set on bigger goals. I have a big show, and I want it to go to big places (all this use of “big” is starting to make me think I’m overcompensating too). I’m unbelievably excited to be working with the Underbelly.

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

That’s a tough one, I’ve sold out shows in the UK, Australia, Singapore, The Philippines & Thailand. But the biggest thing that’s happened to me is either the realisation that brought me to the idea for the show, or the fact last week I decided to walk the West Highland Way for three different charities, ROHHAD Association, Epilepsy Scotland & MND Scotland, and raised nearly £2000 by walking 96 miles. Not quite the same as The Proclaimers song. I like to tell people it’s because my life is so much fun and I wanted to give back to something I believed in, but the truth of the matter is that I turn 40 at the end of July and I think it was a little bit of a mid-life crisis.

Tell us about your show.

The show is all about my disastrous love life and how the dating world has changed dramatically in the last decade. With a healthy dose of self reflection it also delves in to why I’ve been single for 9 years, and what I’m doing to change that. It’s honest, heartfelt and the funniest thing I’ve ever written.

It’s been produced by Natalie Allison who is the only person I’ve ever met who can make me even more excited about my own projects. She’s been invaluable in helping me take all my brain babies and helping nurture them in to mature funnies.

My aim is to take it to as many international fringe and comedy festivals I can find around the world. I have my heart set on a European tour in autumn/winter, then Australia in January till April, New Zealand then hopefully Canada, America, South Africa and anywhere else that wants to hear my tales.

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

Ray Bradshaw is bringing his show ‘Comedy Def Fam’ back for a limited run, if you missed it last year definitely check that out as it’s my favourite thing I’ve ever seen at a Fringe. Others you should definitely check out are Stephen Bailey, Ashley Storrie, Chris Forbes, Fannys @ Five, Janey Godley, The Master that is Stephen Buchanan, Jesus L’Oreal Nailed It – there is a massive list that I’d recommend. I always put a full list of recommendations up on my website or Facebook just before the Fringe starts.

Two top tips for choosing shows. Stop and speak to flyerers, ask them which shows they’d recommend other than the one they are selling, do that a few times and you’ll hear some names getting repeated which is always a good sign. Also, don’t go to any show that has more than one A at the start of the title, they’ve done this to get to the start of the brochure and if that’s as good as their imagination for the title gets, there isn’t much hope for the show.

+3 Interview: KillyMuck

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

“I took last year off to pay all the credit cards and loans I took out to fund my work!”

WHO: Kat Woods, Writer/Director/Producer

WHAT: “Inspired by real events, Killymuck is a housing estate built on a paupers graveyard in 1970s Ireland. Niamh navigates life through the parameters of growing up, with the trials and tribulations of being a kid from the benefit class system. Lack of opportunity, educational barriers, impoverishment, addiction and depression are the norms as the struggle to escape the underclass stereotype becomes a priority. From school trips organised as cross-community excursions to unite a fractured post troubles town, to finding the humour within an estate crippled with misfortune. From award-winning, critically acclaimed writer of Belfast Boy, Wasted, Mule.”

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

WHEN: 18:25 (60 min)

MORE: Click Here!

Is this your first time to Edinburgh?

In 2004 I went on a Hen party to Edinburgh and one of the only things I can remember was the Frankenstein bar and a very drunken open top bus tour!

This will actually be my fourth Edinburgh Fringe. My previous shows include BELFAST BOY in 2014 (Sold out and won; The Stage award for Excellence and The Fringe Review award for Outstanding Theatre), WASTED (Sell out shows transferred to New York and London) in 2015 and MULE in 2016 (Sell out shows transferred to London and Northern Ireland). I took last year off to pay all the credit cards and loans I took out to fund my work!

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

I cleared my credit card, working a million Restaurant hours!

I signed with a fantastic writing agent, Alex Rusher at Independent Talent. Found my writing Mojo again and penned Killymuck. Mule went on tour to Northern Ireland. Belfast Boy took part in a producing showcase in London. Wasted premiered in Wales.

My company have been invited to Baltimore and Washington DC, at the end of August to present Wasted as part of a college campus tour.

Tell us about your show.

I am the Writer/Director/Producer. The show is a solo piece of theatre and will be performed by Aoife Lennon. I have known Aoife from doing a Drama Degree in Derry N.Ireland over 10 years ago and I have worked with her on a few pieces, most notably, our last EdFringe piece Mule.

Killymuck is an exploration of issues surrounding class, that I have experienced throughout my childhood and adult life. I am from a council estate, grew up on benefits. With the rise of unpaid internships, unpaid work in general and cuts to arts funding. I felt compelled to write something. We are in danger of the arts becoming solely an elitist playground. Yes, ‘Fleabag’ is fantastic but it is yet another middle-class voice. Where is the representation of the underclass, have we been forgotten? No one speaks of us. It’s time to change that.

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

I am always a little bias towards other Irish shows and in saying that, ‘My Left Nut’ by Michael Patrick and ‘Maz and Bricks’ by Eva O’Connor both look incredible.

+3 Interview: Nick Hall: Spencer

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

“I had my appendix taken out. It was a huge moment in my life when I stared death right in the eyes and kicked it in the balls.”

WHO: Nick Hall, Writer/Performer

WHAT: “Spencer Percival has one claim to fame. He’s the only British Prime Minister ever to be assassinated. Unfortunately, no one’s ever heard of him. 206 years later, Nick Hall tells his story. In this inventive and hilarious journey through history, Nick brings alive the world of the 19th century, while drawing parallels with the present. In this age of Brexit, Trump, Corbynista and Maybot, could we still learn something from the past? As seen on BBC Two and Three, and heard on BBC Radio 4. ‘Brilliant’ (Times). ‘Crackingly original’ **** (List). ‘One not to miss’ **** (Skinny).”

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

WHEN: 13:30 (60 min)

MORE: Click Here!

Is this your first time to Edinburgh?

This is my 8th year of coming to the Fringe! There’s something very depressing about writing out that sentence. That said, once you come up here it’s a great fun and you wonder where else in the world you’d like to be. Then by the end of August you can’t wait to get away. And the cycle starts all over again…

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

I had my appendix taken out. It was a huge moment in my life when I stared death right in the eyes and kicked it in the balls. The moment when the nurse turned to me and said, ‘Yep it’s definitely appendicitis’ was a truly life-changing bombshell which put things in perspective. Coming round the next day after the general anaesthetic I swore that I would lead life to the full, and not waste a single moment. Six months later I’m eating Pringles while I write this and preparing to go to the Fringe for the umpteenth time. But I’ve got a really good show. Which is actually sort of about death.

Tell us about your show.

My show is called Spencer – it’s written and performed by myself (egotistical I know). There is no company apart from myself – I’m a one-man company. A manpony. Although that just sounds like a man and a pony were genetically fused together in a Fly-like scenario. It’s directed by an wonderful lady named Jess Lazar and is being premiered in London in the run-up to Edinburgh. As for what happens after, touring around London and the UK hopefully, and then who knows? By the way that isn’t a rhetorical question, I’m genuinely asking the reader what I should do next.

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

You should check out the hilarious stand-up stylings of Dan Cook. He’s a brilliantly funny man who also happens to be my flat mate in Edinburgh. I’m therefore recommending him in a bid to sooth his gigantic ego and try and curry favour when it turns out that I accidentally used his milk.

+3 Interview: Laura Davis: Ghost Machine

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

“I still spend a lot of time in the Sainsbury’s looking at all the biscuit products that never made it to Australia.”

WHO: Laura Davis, Comedian

WHAT: “A show about life. Performed by a ghost. For the love of god. Laura Davis pushes into new ground in her internationally acclaimed, multi award-winning show Ghost Machine. Lauded as one of the strongest and most unique comedic voices around, Laura Davis is unconventional, cathartic and exhilaratingly hilarious. Ghost Machine sees audience members returning multiple times to celebrate this darkly honest, constantly surprising, existential extravaganza. Winner: Best Indie Show at Melbourne International Comedy Festival and Best Comedy at Melbourne Fringe. ‘An original and provocative hour in the company of a unique mind’ **** (List).”

WHERE: Underbelly, Cowgate – Belly Dancer (Venue 61) 

WHEN: 17:40 (60 min)

MORE: Click Here!

Is this your first time to Edinburgh?

I came in 2017 for the first time to do my show ‘Cake in the Rain’ at Edinburgh and at Soho Theatre.

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

I moved from Australia where I’ve lived all my life, to London where I’ve lived for six weeks now. I still spend a lot of time in the Sainsbury’s looking at all the biscuit products that never made it to Australia.

Tell us about your show.

I wrote and toured this show GHOST MACHINE in 2015 throughout Australia and have been performing it ever since. I also toured it to Kuala Lumpur and it’s very hot dressing up as a ghost in the jungle.

It won best independent show at Melbourne International Comedy Festival in 2015, and Best Comedy Show at Melbourne Fringe.

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

They should go and see Alice Fraser, ETHOS which is the show that I directed this year. They should also go and see James Nokise, over at The Stand.

+3 Interview: Ross Brierley: Accumulator

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

“It’s my debut solo hour of stand up comedy.”

WHO: Ross Brierley

WHAT: “What would you do if you had a bet on the horses and won a year’s wages in a day? Quit your job and become a professional gambler? Sure, why not. Award-winning comedian Ross Brierley takes you on a surreal journey into the highs and lows of trying to predict the future to pay the bills. An hour of big, daft ideas and little plastic pens from the host of The Not So Late Show with Ross and Josh.”

WHERE: Underbelly, Bristo Square – Daisy (Venue 139) 

WHEN: 16:30 (60 min)

MORE: Click Here!

Is this your first time to Edinburgh?

No it is not. I went up last year with The Not So Late Show with Ross & Josh (which also returns this year on the Free Fringe) but this is my first solo hour. Last year was a full-on, relentless baptism of fire and this year will hopefully be a bath at just the right temperature for a month, leaving my toes wrinkled beyond belief.

Tell us about your show.

I wrote it! I produced it! I got the sizes for the poster wrong, leading to a delay with the design! I reply to all the emails! I do all the jokes! I stray off topic, nobody else. It’s my debut solo hour of stand up comedy and it’s about the dominant theme in my 33 years to date: Gambling. Where am I taking it? Wherever it’s wanted! WHO WANTS IT?

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

They should see Sean Morley bend your mind with weird immersive comedy stuff, The Delightful Sausage regenerate a Northern town and then something completely different, like a full on Samba dance band.

+3 Interview: The B*easts

Posted in *Written Interviews, EdFestivals 2017, Plus 3 2017 - Features by

“It is about time I came up to perform in the Fringe – and pretty shameful that I never have before!”

WHO: Monica Dolan, Tessa

WHAT: “Setting the modern obsession with putting your own child first against our responsibility as a society towards children as a whole, this dark tale, written by and starring BAFTA award-winning actress Monica Dolan (W1A, Appropriate Adult, The Witness For The Prosecution), explores how far one mum will go to give her child what she wants. A searing exploration of the pornification of our culture and the sexualisation of our children. Directed by John Hoggarth.”

WHERE: Underbelly, Cowgate (Venue 61) 

WHEN: 18:00 (60 min)

MORE: Click Here!

Is this your first time to Edinburgh?

It’s my first time performing at the Edinburgh Fringe, but I have visited and performed in Edinburgh before at various theatres. I played Laura in The Glass Menagerie at the Edinburgh Lyceum in Polly Teale’s production nearly twenty years ago (one of my favourite jobs). It was over Christmas and New Year and a terrific time to be in the city. I also toured to the Traverse with a play called Sliding With Suzanne with Max Stafford-Clark and Out of Joint, and was in Edinburgh with Shared Experience’s Jane Eyre in 2006. So it is about time I came up to perform in the Fringe – and pretty shameful that I never have before!

Tell us about your show.

My solo show The B*easts is having its premiere at the Fringe. I wrote it and am also the sole performer but am lucky enough to have a supportive team around me. My producer is Suzanna Rosenthal for Something For The Weekend, and the show is directed by John Hoggarth and designed by James Button.

I had already written the show, and sent it to Suzanna who wanted to do it and around the same time I read it to John and James who I have known from other jobs for years, and who were keen to get on board with the piece too.

The show is about sexualisation of culture and specifically children, and is a storytelling piece. I haven’t thought beyond doing The B*easts at the Edinburgh Fringe, but am open to anything that comes from performing here, and the play has lately been published by Samuel French, so there will hopefully be a future for it with other performers too.

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

Showstoppers the Improvised Musical definitely – you will need it after my show! The Hero Who Overslept is a Gilded Balloon show about Climate Change that I think will be worth catching, also Education, Education, Education at the Pleasance Dome, and Richard Gadd: Monkey See, Monkey Do.

Comedy-wise: Sara Pascoe, Richard Herring, Reginald D Hunter, Focus On: Lola and Jo and Max and Ivan: The Reunion are some to aim to catch, I think.

+3 Interview: Tense Vagina: an actual diagnosis

Posted in *Written Interviews, EdFestivals 2017, Plus 3 2017 - Features by

“I’m bringing my two kids, husband, my mother, 25 dildos, a host of weird props and 150 t-shirts that say, Sara Juli’s: Tense Vagina: an actual diagnosis. Please buy one, no really, please.”

WHO: Sara Juli, Creator/Performer

WHAT: “Using humour, movement, song and the audience, Sara Juli reveals all that is awesome and all that sucks when it comes to being a mother. Tense Vagina is a show about the beauty, challenges, isolation and influence motherhood has on the human experience. Focusing on the taboo aspects of motherhood: loneliness, tears and dildos, the hilarious narrative is anchored in the physical therapy Juli received at the Pelvic Floor Rehab Center of New England for urinary incontinence.”

WHERE: Underbelly, Cowgate (Venue 61)

WHEN: 16:10 (60 min)

MORE: Click Here!

Is this your first time to Edinburgh?

This is my first time at Edinburgh Fringe Festival and I honestly have no idea what to expect. I’m bringing my two kids, husband, my mother, 25 dildos, a host of weird props and 150 t-shirts that say, Sara Juli’s: Tense Vagina: an actual diagnosis. Please buy one, no really, please.

There has been a lot to navigate detail wise, but I’m thrilled to be bringing the show to the Fringe and to get the run going. 22 shows in 25 days is certainly a first for me. I’m curious to see how the show will shift and change over the course of a long-run. I also really enjoy making people laugh. This piece is hilarious, but not just funny hilarious, it’s the kind of hilarious where we’re getting at something underneath, and we’re experiencing it together. Plus, I give away free snacks, so audiences literally have nothing to lose…

Tell us about your show.

I created, “Tense Vagina: an actual diagnosis” a few years ago in my small NY City apartment, when I was attached to a hospital-grade breast pump and couldn’t move. The one- woman show, produced by Underbelly, uses a lot of humor, movement, song, and text to peel a layer back and reveal all that is awesome and all that sucks when it comes to being a mother.

It’s not a classical “ode-to-motherhood” show that pulls from traditional themes around the beauty of being a mother, but rather focuses on the parts of motherhood that are taboo such as: loss of bladder control, copious tears, extreme loneliness, monotony and dildos, to name a few.

The narrative is anchored in sharing the physical therapy I received at The Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation Center of New England. It sheds light on the embarrassment and humor from the treatment of my post-childbirth urinary incontinence. The show has a bit of something for everyone: song, stand-up comedy, free snacks, karaoke, dildos, and an uninterrupted hour to think about your own or someone else’s vagina. I have an 11 city US tour planned for the 2017-2018 season that I’m super excited about.

My dream after the Fringe is to continue to perform the work. I’m really proud of the piece.

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

Manuel Cinema (Lula Del Ray) and Fleabag. I’m also interested in taking my kids to Trash Test Dummies.

+3 Interview: Danny O’Brien: RaconTour

Posted in *Written Interviews, EdFestivals 2017, Plus 3 2017 - Features by

“I did my first solo show in Edinburgh in 2012 and loved it. I have been back every year since…”

WHO: Danny O’Brien, Performer/Writer

WHAT: “Award-winning Irish comedian Danny O’Brien returns to the Edinburgh Fringe with his most adventurous and unique solo show to date. After inheriting a broken-down, unreliable, older-than-he-is motorcycle, Danny decided to take to the road on a comedic expedition. Come hear the story of this RaconTour – in all its glory, failures, and triumphs alike!”

WHERE: Underbelly, Cowgate (Venue 61)

WHEN: 22:20 (60 min)

MORE: Click Here!

Is this your first time to Edinburgh?

No. I did my first solo show in Edinburgh in 2012 and loved it. I have been back every year since and I’m stepping things up this year with a show that has far surpassed all previous years. I love the Fringe and though it nearly breaks you every year, I wouldn’t miss it for the world!

Tell us about your show.

I wrote and produced this show myself which has been a hell of a lot of work but I’m incredibly excited about it and it’s been worth all the graft.I have done several previews in Ireland and the UK but the full show will premier at The Fringe this year.

I have already booked a “Four Provence” tour in Ireland after Edinburgh and a two week Asia tour in November and I’m in the middle of booking a 2018 International tour that will be in the UK, Sweden and the US to name but a few places!

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

Well seeing as they are already in the Underbelly Cowgate they should go see the legendary late night show (with gratuitous amounts of nudity) Spank! after my show, its always so much fun. I’d highly recommend seeing Foil, Arms and Hog’s new show Oink also, they are an amazing sketch trio who are at the top of their game right now.
