2014 Edinburgh Fringe

More details

Did you know there was a fourth bear living in the house that Goldilocks broke into? Remember when that children's TV show with the sock puppets got cancelled, and the presenter took herself hostage live on air? Did Emily Bronte really pen all those novels or was there a forgotten writing partner providing all her ideas? And what are they all doing now?

Answering all these questions and raising an awful lot more, three-time Edinburgh Fringe performer and Argus Angel Award-winner, Lizzy Mace presents a series of endearingly awkward oddball underlings. Undervalued in their lifetimes, ignored by history, overlooked...

A gifted comic character actress, Lizzy's skillset includes absurdist theatre, sketch comedy, improvisation and stand-up. As a writer-performer, her previous shows have received 4 and 5 star reviews at the Edinburgh and Adelaide Fringes. At the Brighton Fringe 2012, Rom Com Con - written and performed with Juliette Burton - won an Argus Angel Award for Excellence and was 'Top Nominee' for Best Comedy at The Latest Festival Awards.

Lizzy has since spent six weeks studying improvisation and sketch comedy writing at the legendary Second City Training Center in Chicago, which has launched the careers of numerous stars of American film and TV including Bill Murray, Steve Carell and Tina Fey. On her return she teamed up with award-nominated director Logan Murray - who has worked with comedians including Greg Davies and Milton Jones - to devise and develop her first solo hour of character comedy. The show is now touring Fringes round the world in 2014, including a full run with La Favorita Freestival - Edinburgh's newest festival.
