What a Sad Little Life, Jane is our first ever fringe show.
Friday 25th of August 2023 | The Alchemist on George Street | 20:00
An in-depth dissection of the 2016 episode of British reality TV show Come Dine With Me in which a contestant, incensed at having lost, berated his fellow diners in a virulently impolite rant that later became a viral meme. To avoid copyright infringement, we will recreate the episode using sock puppets, analyse key turning points and tensions between contestants, and ultimately decide by democratic vote who really has the grace and decorum of a reversing dump truck without any tyres on.
You can get tickets on the Edinburgh Fringe website. We’re not in the printed program because we missed the deadline. Tickets are £5, and having a ticket guarantees you a seat… but you can also just turn up on the evening and pay what you feel at the end of the show.
There will be: some audience participation, but we won’t bother you if you sit at the back.
