Award-winning Ria Lina returns with her third hour of eclectic comedy. Having decided to homeschool her kids, Ria took the opportunity to devise her own uniquely comedic curriculum. Come and enjoy an hour of didactic comedy and songs for grown-ups. 'Fearless, provocative and very funny - there isn't a comedy venue in the country that shouldn't be fighting for her' **** (Scotsman). 'Electrified the audience with her relaxed yet biting wit' **** (ThreeWeeks). 'Engaging, endearing and eye-opening' (Time Out). 'A comic sensation' (Erotic Review).

Settle down! Spit out that chewing gum! Eyes to the front! Stop passing notes! Would you like to share that with the rest of the class?

Right, then let's begin as Ria Lina invites us to rip up our books, throw our periodic tables out of the window and allow her to present a wonderfully on-the-edge alternative education.

Award-winning stand up, comic, writer, musician and cuttingly witty certified MILF, Ria brings her new full run hour long solo show to Edinburgh, that unabashedly aims to start an educational revolution.

After encountering the inner-city London school system, and the horrors lurking within, Ria decided to home-school her kids and devised her own curriculum.

In her Edinburgh class, Ria will be covering all the main subjects including Creative Maths, Religious Studies, Stranger Danger, S.R.E and Philosophy; answering vitally important questions such as: "If a pathological liar is raped, by a wolf, and then set on fire what should they cry?"

So come and spend an hour with this award winning comic for some didactically absurd comedy, that champions intelligence and education for anyone who ever felt let down by the system.
