Taking on Edinburgh Fringe with a fantastic number of musicals from tap-dancing lambs to culinary chaos!
Come Dine With Me - The Musical |Underbelly (Cowbarn)
Wednesday 31st July – Monday 26th August 2024
Televising the good, the bad and the downright ugly when it comes to culinary competitiveness and unchecked hospitality, Come Dine with Me has the perfect ingredients for an irreverent musical with big laughs and a big heart. Written by Sam Norman and Aaron King it highlights the chaos that follows clashing chef personalities and looks beyond the meltdowns, the sore losers and stroppy winners to delve deeper behind thescenes. Having a fictional episode playout before us, the show is unafraid to uncover the truth behind the beloved show, a show that taps into the nosey instincts of the audience.Tickets: HERE
SILENCE! The Musical | Underbelly (Cowbarn)
Wednesday 31st July - Monday 26th August 2024
SILENCE! The Musical, the notorious unauthorised parody of the Academy Award-winning film The Silence of The Lambs, is bringing its singing serial killers, tap-dancing lambs, and gleefully unstoppable bad taste to Edinburgh. As a rookie FBI agent matches with the brilliant but insane Dr. Hannibal Lecter in an intense serial killer chase, the most horrific of subjects are paired with a chorus of singing lambs narrating the action and breaking out into cheerful show tunes with unprintable song titles. One most definitely for the adults and a perfect final show stopper for a day of theatre at Fringe. Tickets HERE
I Wish You Well | Underbelly (Udderbelly)
Saturday 3rd - Monday 26th August 2024
This four-hander tells the (mostly) true story of the campest celebrity trial in history: Gwyneth vs Terry. Packed full of iconic moments, the questions about Taylor Swift, and the now famous whisper of 'I Wish You Well' – this is a fast-paced parody that sounds as good as Gwyneth's candles smell. Throw in some jade eggs and future classics such as ‘Do You Know Taylor?' and 'I'm Gwynnocent', and you have yourself a hilarious musical bursting with heart. Tickets HERE
My Son’s A Queer (But what can you do?) | Underbelly (McEwan Hall)
Thursday 1st - Tuesday 16th August
When Rob was twelve, they attempted a full-blown Disney parade in their house for their Grandma. As Rob donned wigs and played Mary Poppins, Ariel, Mickey Mouse and Belle, their Dad doubled as Stage Manager, Sound Technician and Goofy. This is the joyous, chaotic, autobiographical story of actor, writer and social-media sensation Rob Madge as they set out to recreate that parade – and this time, nobody, no, nobody is gonna rain on it.
