One of the UK's hottest young comedy talents - impressionist Naomi McDonald is smashing down the dressing room doors and rounding up a roomful of stars for the Fringe.
Part of the sell out Newsrevue 2016 team, Naomi returns to Edinburgh with a debut solo show bursting with sketches and spoof songs.
Stardumb reveals the secret lives and longings of famous names including Katie Price,Ellie Goulding, Kim Kardashian, Cheryl Cole and Fearne Cotton. Nigella Lawson defrosts meals in her bathtub, Melania Trump hits the bottle hard and Adele sings her heart out over a custard cream.
Learning to sing before she could walk, and striding onto the professional comedy circuit at the age of 11, the impressionist, stand-up, actor, singer and voiceover artist is familiar to millions of viewers on Sky, Capital FM, CBeebies, Cartoon Network.
Most recently Naomi was part of the gang of up-and-coming comedians starring in Radio 2's Celebrity Lip Service, which used spoof calls and set ups to explore how far ordinary people will go to satisfy the whims of a star. She is also the voice of Jetpad in the BAFTA nominated CBeebies series Go Jetters.
Rory Bremner has praised Naomi's "brilliant impressions", Chris Barry says her "great voices really, really make me laugh" while Terry Mynott dubbed her a "tour de force".
