Hi, it's Caroline here - the girl on the poster.
My poster was created by first-time Fringe poster designer Robyn Packham. It's for my 45-minute solo stand-up show which I'm performing at Just the Tonic. Robyn is an accomplished artist and RBA Rising Star, and this is her first foray into the world of Fringe poster design.
The show is named 'Street Smart'; I'm about the least street smart person you've ever met. I explore my lack of street smarts in my show, unveiling uplifting and humiliating truths about my life, through stories about growing up in Northern Ireland to drug deals gone wrong.
We were inspired by street graffiti art for this poster, with Robyn creating bespoke spray paint lettering to convey the theme. This deliberately contrasts with my 'deer-in-headlights' headshot, underlining the irony of myself as someone who does not fit the label 'street smart' at all. We've gone for bright, playful colours to also convey some of the fun of the show.
