Riotous original songs meet hyper surreal, high fashion in this political rally slash arena spectacular, performed in a damp cave, by a pair of absolute weirdos with a dubious moral compass. Critically acclaimed musical satirists Bourgeois & Maurice present a provocative, thought-provoking and cuttingly hilarious guide to engaging with the complex issues of today's geo-political climate... without too much effort on anyone's part. 'It's hard to think of any other act delivering such clever, funny and sharp material' **** (Time Out).

Fings from the Fringe

Well, who doesn't love an alliterative title? And titles, when it comes to Edinburgh Fringe, can make or break you. Likewise your publicity image. Does it draw people in? What kind of people? And does it accurately represent what you do? Some of the biggest disappointments aren't because a show is bad, but because it's not what it promised.

Fringe 2016 - shows with some politics in them

Many shows explore political themes in 2016, a year that has the potential for significant political change with the forthcoming referendum on EU membership in the UK and presidential elections in the USA.
