2023 Edinburgh Fringe
Krystal Evans: The Hottest Girl at Burn Camp
An accomplished debut covering her unusual upbringing in the Northwest of the United States. A fascinating and hilarious hour with a powerful emotional reveal.
Krystal's sizzling debut hour finds the humour in escaping a house-fire, death, tragedy and mental illness, and how all this has - somewhat ironically - made her life funnier. An emotional rollercoaster of a show that offers a viciously funny take on some of the defining moments in Krystal's life. As seen on: BBC's Comedy Underground, Scot Squad, Breaking The News. Tour support for Stewart Francis and Zoe Lyons. Leicester Mercury New Comedian of the Year finalist. One of the most-anticipated newcomer shows of this year's Fringe. 'Just perfect' **** (BroadwayBaby.com).
