2023 Edinburgh Fringe
Dead Inside
Part stand-up, part autobiographical theatre, Dead Inside is a rollercoaster ride through the hilarious topics of cancer, suicide and whether it's possible to overdose on potatoes. Guaranteed to be less terrifying than that sounds, this is one woman's experience of reluctantly joining the breast cancer community, things that made her laugh, cry, and say what the actual duck-billed platypus? She'll also share how she thinks we can help people who are dealing with a diagnosis, or just struggling to survive. Don't be afraid! Join Jane Japes to find out if you're 'Dead Inside' or 'Loving Life'.

Comedians stand up to cancer at the Edinburgh Fringe
Each person copes with their cancer diagnosis, treatment, and recovery in a different way. For stand-up comedians, a natural method used to process their experiences is to incorporate their cancer into their on-stage routine, exploring both the funny and serious sides of the disease.
