This show is from a previous year's festival

What are Tory feminists? Why isn’t there a Spielberg blockbuster about donkeys? Why does the Women’s Studies section in Waterstones smell of farts?  Bridget Christie knows.  Baffling stand-up, juvenile costumes and exploding balloons from  “a writer and performer of prodigious talent” Guardian.

 

“A brave comic….hilarious, passionate and insightful” ★★★★ The Arts Desk

 

“…an undeniably spectacular surrealist… deft, hilarious and intelligent” ★★★★The Skinny

 

“A bold, barmy yet thoughtful brew….brilliant” ★★★★Fest

 

War Donkey received 10 four star reviews and was featured on BBC2’s Culture Show as one of Sue Perkins’ Top 5 shows of the Fringe (alongside Tony Law’s Maximum Nonsense).  It was also picked as one of GQ’s Ten Essential Edinburgh Shows. “..abstract yet accessible, profound yet hilarious.”

 

This show will be an hour long.

 

This show is for over 14’s only and under 16’s will need to be accompanied by an adult.

 

Additional booking fees are not being charged by the festival this year, but are being incorporated into the overall advertised ticket price. Please see the website for further information.
