It's Edinburgh in the 1980s. High unemployment, rubbish working conditions and rampant sexism. Sound familiar? Meet Adele, Carole, Mel and Nicky - four waitresses at the Shakers cocktail bar. Playing a multitude of different characters - customers, checkout girls, lads out on a spree, lecherous media types and more - the girls lay bare the desperation underneath their cheerful public faces. Fast-moving, by turns hilarious and tragic, punctuated by music of the time, the play highlights how little the lives of women and those struggling to get by have changed over the decades.

#SNAPCHATZ Episode 48: A roaring ride of irreverent laughter
In today's second #SNAPCHATZ, it's clear to see that #EdFringe2023 will be brimming with irreverent laughter, as we traverse Steve N Allen's comic perspective on memory, SUPERFAN's audacious stunt-laden exploration of masculinity, and EGTG's spirited feminist interpretation of life's cocktail.
