Edinburgh Fringe
Stephanie Laing: Rudder
A comedy dance show about balance. Stephanie has a history of falling over a lot, accidentally kneeing herself in the face, and falling in love with total kn*bheads. In this show she uses a mixture of stand-up and dance to talk about bodies, sex, dancing, liking yourself, consent and healing. Also, there are cartoon bears and burlesque.

Holly, Phoenix Remix, 26th July 2024Interview with comedian and writer Stephanie Laing
"I've done years where I've been focused on getting good reviews or selling out the show, but I think it's better if you just remember it's a really really enjoyable way to spend a month of your life."
Tom Inniss, Voice Magazine, 24th July 2024EdFringe Talk: Stephanie Laing: Rudder
"I've had really tough fringes where I didn't rest enough and mostly ate waffles and nutella, and it just wasn't sustainable for a full month."
Dan Lentell, Get Your Coats On, 3rd July 2024On the Mic Picks: Stephanie Laing

"I take most of my clothes off at the end, which is hopefully exciting for the audience's hearts rather than filling them with abject terror."
