Njambi McGrath returns to the Fringe with a roller coaster hour of dark comedy guaranteed to make you laugh and cry. Having survived a beating that nearly killed her, Njambi McGrath is forced to confront the perpetrator, her father, for answers when their paths unexpectedly cross again. His long standing dual with her mother is bound to come head to head at her brother's wedding, with her mother's long-standing promise to perform an unspeakable act, which guarantees quite a wedding. When he finally agrees to meet her he does the craziest thing.

Seven questions with... Njambi McGrath

Njambi McGrath is an incredibly powerful stand up performer because her comedy comes from a deeply personal place and she is able to turn it into something creatively stimulating and, of course, funny. Having grown up in Kenya, Njambi presents an insight into a completely different and unknown culture for many a Britain-born audience member, and this, for me, is what makes stand up comedy refreshing and exciting. McGrath brings her latest show 1 Last Dance with My Father to this year's Edinburgh Festival.
