2015 Edinburgh Fringe

More details

Comedian Lou Conran (Emmerdale*, Hollyoaks**,) has a 'special gift'- she talks to dead people, or rather they talk to her. In her debut show at the 2015 Edinburgh Festival, Lou has her first 'outing' of being a self-confessed weirdo, and what better venue to do that in, but a caravan.

During the show, Lou reveals that all her life she never really understood why she was different to everyone else - ignoring the signs for years - including finding dead bodies, hearing rappings on the walls, lights flickering and so on. It wasn't until she stepped into her first class at Clairvoyant Camp (sort of a Hogwarts for adults) that the messages started literally pouring out of her.

Lou is busily ripping the guts out of her 1980's caravan to convert it into a 15 seater theatre-come-boudoir for her bijoux performances and even has a new turban.

"I actually didn't have the money for a caravan!" says Lou "but I decided to have a go at cosmic ordering, if it's good enough for Noel Edmonds then it's good enough for me. One came up on eBay in Manchester for £700, so I put it on my credit card, the next day, I won the postcode lottery which paid for it!" She's taking that as a sign it is meant to be.

Join Lou and her many dead friends (they don't take up much space) for a night you'll remember for a very, very long time...

Lou began stand-up in 2005 and regularly supports Sarah Millican, who describes Lou as 'naturally funny'. She'll appear alongside Sarah on Radio 4's show It's Not What You Know later in the year.
