“relevant, heart-wrenching and emotionally devastating" - audience review

Colly, Kaia, Mercy, and Theo have shared over a decade of life’s highs and lows: promotions, break-ups, illness, and recovery. They understand the quiet strength of true love – platonic and romantic – and the profound impact of having people who believe in you without question. In a world that often feels unkind, they are each other’s constant, proving that sometimes, friends are the family you choose.

But when a woman close to them goes missing, the group is forced to confront an unflinching reality: survival isn’t guaranteed in a world steeped in violence against women and girls.

This powerful, thought-provoking piece explores the ripple effects of such violence on those left behind. It delves into the anger, the grief, and the relentless injustice of a society that blames women for their own victimisation. From the vitriol of social media trolls to the devastating disparity in media coverage for missing women of colour, it asks: what does survival look like in a world that refuses to change?

Heartfelt, unflinching, and timely, this is a story of resilience, rage, and love in the face of an unforgiving world.

⛳️ Just a few days left to catch Following Through! ⛳️


19th - 25th August | 18:30

Ex-professional golf coach to the great Donald J. Trump, this unique and hysterical journey will bring many laughs – all through the eyes, highs and lows of Ex-USPGA golfer, Mr. G. F. Dicklitter Jr. From touring with Tiger Woods through to the wild times of the Trump administration, he takes us on a journey through his few triumphs and many disasters. All alongside social commentary, anecdotes, songs and guaranteed laughter. If ever there was a tonic to the wild in the world, this is it.

👀 Just a few nights left to catch the Improverts this Fringe! 👀

30th July - 25th August | 23:00

When it comes to the bizarre and outrageous at the Fringe’s LONGEST RUNNING improv-comedy show, best to think ‘all of the above’ – watch rival butchers battle it out at the laundromat, Queen Lizzie running a chippy, or any number of wild and wacky scenarios you can think up. A show based ENTIRELY on audience suggestions, come along for an hour of ferocious, five-star, fast-paced sketch comedy that’s sure to take your breath away (literally)! And who knows… the bravest of you may end up on stage yourselves! The Improverts – always different, always funny.

“Sooo funny” – you, potentially!

Ascension is based on the 300-year-old diary of Dutch sailor Leendert Hasenbosch, who was marooned on Ascension Island in 1725 for the crime of so**my. This bold and inventive adaptation reclaims his story for the 21st century, exploring q***r identity, the weaponisation of religion and the resilience to love ourselves in a sometimes unforgiving world.

A fatal comedy of errors debuting at Fringe 2025 in which three plucky young housemates are finally sick of paying rent. Taking a lead from Crime and Punishment and adding a dash of Home Alone antics, the trio put dark plans into motion with hilarious and deadly consequences…
