2015 Edinburgh Fringe

More details

Practical Magic Theatre Company returns to Edinburgh for their 16th consecutive EdFringe.

Producers Alan and Shirley Ann Bayley are 16 years older, somewhat fatter and now have 2 kids. Their long struggle to become overnight sensations is failing miserably!

This year's show is Desperately Seeking Sugar. The show is punchy comedy set in the cut-throat world of business. It is centred on fictitious failed Apprentice contestant Derek. After coming 14th in the 2009 competition Derek is inviting us to come team-building with him in the Cotswolds. So let us all blue-sky our out-the-box thinking and see what sticks to the wall...

The show promises to be a hugely entertaining piece. It has been written by Practical Magic's producer Alan Bayley in collaboration with Iain Campbell. Alan is the writer of several previous Fringe hits including - Critical! (A sociopath's guide to influencing Edinburgh Fringe reviewers), Barry Brennan's Bimonthly Dungeons and Dragons Sessions - A Geek Tragedy, Sex Lies & Eurovision, 21 Girlfriends and How to be Dead.

Alan says of the show: "We're continuing our tradition of bringing entertaining comedy to the Fringe. Our shows aim to provide straightforward entertainment with loads of laughs."

Co-writer Iain who is playing Derek in the production says "anybody who has ever worked in a corporate environment will recognise the characters in this show - get ready for some b*** s*** bingo!"

Past Practical Magic EdFringe shows have included 'Allo 'Allo, Trainspotting, The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie and The Steamie.
