EDINBURGH FRINGE 2024 - COMPLETED 🥳
To perform a full run of FREAK OUT! at Pleasance Theatre for our first ever Edinburgh Festival Fringe was a dream come true 🤩
Flyering to Dan from Bastille & John Oliver (not at the same time), an audience member calling a sandcastle they built in our show “Down with the Monarchy”, our cake falling splat on the floor mid-show, and our cake spatula (who soon became known as ‘Larry’) being classified as a weapon(?)… were just a few of the many memorable moments from last month!
We’d like to thank Jonny, Nic, Natalie and The Pleasance team for having us and all their amazing support! And to the fab Jack Dome volunteers - Jonnie, Beth, Joe & Gaby - you guys are true legends who went above and beyond 💪
Lots of appreciation also goes to our fantastic technician Barney Curtis (3rd pic) - who also brought plenty of laughter and great show recs - and the uber-talented Alex Wollacott for stepping in to cover Sophia’s role for 2 of our shows!
Huge love and gratitude to all our audiences, fellow artists and friends we made along the way - we were amazed to have so many audience members from East Anglia too!
Special mentions go to our show neighbours - Joe and Dylan from ‘It’s the Economy, Stupid!’ and Arturo from ‘Ni Mi Madre’ - it was a joy to share the green room with you 💫
Thank you to the Sit Up Awards for generously funding our audience engagement activities, Edinburgh Communities Climate Action Network (ECCAN) for supporting us and connecting us wth local climate action groups who joined us in advocating for Zero Hour’s 100 Days campaign 💚
Finally, one last special recognition for the Coin Toss production team Rosie, Claudia & Weronika for making our Fringe run happen!
Coin Toss Collective over and out (for now),
Alyssa, Ben, Claudia, Rosie, Sol, Sophia & Wero 💙💙💙
