Lynne Jassem brings her moving solo show From Como to Homo to Edinburgh. In it she tells the story of a 10-year-old juggling her career on live TV in 1957 with the demands of her stage mother, a former Rockette, and a burgeoning awareness of her gender dysphoria. She tells her tale through tap-dancing, mime, physical comedy and song.
