OUR FINAL SHOW!

In which two illigitimately married women (one of whom looked with her nose) had a falling out at the top of Arthur's Seat because one fancied the baker.

A husband and wife in the New town finally confronted the fact that despite being married (a legitimate marriage) for a number of years, they slept in different beds and had very little intimacy or even like towards each other. They vowed they would try a 'walk'.

Meanwhile, Tom visited a leadership school because working in the mill had brought on strong feelings towards a young man named Massive Sam. Tom heard the first rule of leadership was taking control of yourself so you can take control of others.

A naughty begger scammed passersby for coin.

The stuck up couple went for a walk through the forest, which was pleasant to the point where they erupted at each other because she was 'like a dry sponge' and his 'facet wasn't working properly'.

Suddenly we were in court, whereupon it was decreed that the stuck up couple could divorce.

Massive Sam had moved to America, but was secretly thinking of Tom, and wrote a letter. They finally met again in Leith and declared their mutual liking of one another. A beautiful romance ensued.

We learnt that milling is a dangerous job, marriage lasts into the afterlife and none of the cast can do yoga.

SHOW 6 OF EDINBURGH IMPROV TALES

A very fun show in which a crazy lady from Dalry graveyard was hoping for passersby to trip her alarm at night time. Charles Darwin walked on by considering the origins of man and a creepy block called George was bamboozled by an ankle, neither tripped the alarm. The crazy lady's maid suggested they go on a journey and sought out their emotional and spiritual amakening

Meanwhile, a depressed posh man visited a psychiatrist. We learnt he had posh mouth syndrome and struggled to enunciate his feelings, whereupon the good doctor advised music therapy, sending the man into a trance and implanting some hope for the first time in years.

The maid visited a tour guide and settled upon a lavish trip to Russia.

The posh man went home, filled with optimism, only to be perturbed by a drip from an upstairs pipe, then a bigger drip, a lump of concrete and finally the upstairs neighbour's bathtub (containing Mrs Miggins). Needless to say his depression returned.

The tour continued in earnest, first travelling on horseback to the South coast of England, then over the sea on a tiny boat to France where they met a randy French person.

After an o**y, drugs and dramatically prepared crepes, the maid revealed she was mostly interested in the crazy lady's will. The tour guide threw up in the raft and the crazy lady died.

Her soul ascended to the heaven whereupon she heard her alarm ringing.. one. last. time.

Thank you Æ - All Edinburgh Theatre for such a lovely review

"a playfully surrealist improvised series of short tales capturing the Jekyll & Hyde nature of Victorian Edinburgh"

"Edinburgh-based KinkyFish Improv collectively dream up a series of impish parodies from the barest of audience suggestions that are definitely worth 50 minutes of your time"

"there is chemistry and warmth between the whole six-strong ensemble"

For Fringe-goers wanting a nightcap of quirky, silly skits, this dose of distinctly alternative Victoriana might do the trick"

Katrina Dixon, All Edinburgh Theatre

SHOW 7 OF EDINBURGH IMPROV TALES

The most fun so far.. in which a couple of friends were frantically washing dishes for a sausage magnate to pay their rent and realised they needed to subcontract out their jobs like a Russian doll.

Meanwhile, a new 8 year boss of a brewery/pub in Dalry was climbing the social and wealth ladder because of what they learnt at capitalist school, whereupon a group of 8 year olds were slowly taking over the Edinburgh.

A soft-ware engineer was purveyoring fine soft clothing for children.

The 8 year olds formed a board (literally from wood) and voted out the by-now wealthy dishwasher, who ended up losing everything. He meets a creepy old man, and is asked to scrub rats.

We learnt that breweries sell chips, lambs' arses are cold, capitalism is corrupting and greed gets you everywhere.

SHOW 6 COMPLETE

A courting couple living in sin met on Crammond beach whereupon they got engaged to a chorus of happy seagulls.

Meanwhile a courtroom clerk typed faster than lightning, requiring her joints to be regularly oiled.

A lady was looking for love but found a sequence of men looking for different lovers, outside her house.

A range of men (and dogs) crashed into the rocks and were promptly ignored by 2 wealthy toffs, the dog attempted to rescue one, gave him mouth-to-mouth, and he promptly got back in the water... and drowned.

Meanwhile a court was held in session and a seagull was brought forward as surprise witness. We saw the story of the seagull meeting the seagull God, who demanded one good deed in return for immortality... thus the defendent was sentenced to death.

A woman failed to get a blind date, a man calmed his future father in law's mental and physical pain, and we learnt humans and birds CAN procreate

SHOW 5 COMPLETE

In which a young woman deliberately saboutaged her father's barn door to make all the horses escape for animal rights. A neighbouring capitalist decided to sell them a 'cow gate'.

A couple, contented with the rats and misery of the Cowgate slums, suddenly drempt big.

A 12 year old working in Greggs was peturbed by the concept of vegetarianism.

The 'Guild of Bastards' housed both the cowgate seller and a man who flogged an electricity machine that did absolutely nothing.

Many horses got shot, Queen Victoria sung the American National Anthem and a robot butler malfunctioned.

SHOW 4 COMPLETE

Two potato farmers had a contract to supply the castle with potatoes, under pain of death if a potato was too green. Meanwhile a milkman visited a bar and learnt there was a new milkman in town, who not only had a new kind of milk (potato milk) but was also alluringly sexy.

A primary school teacher was too cheerful, much to the disappointment of the headteacher, and entirely failed to crush the spirit of young minds.

The sexy potato milkman revealed his potato milking secret, which considerably displeased the sacred order of 'Potato Club' who vowed revenge.

The potato farmer was put to death for a green potato, a cow was used as prop for twerking and most of the cast ended up in the underworld.

SHOW 3 OF ED IMPROV TALES

A husband was deeply peturbed by his wife's breathing after his extensive study of nostrils. Queen Victoria rode to town in search of her Scottish boys (and to annex Leith). A man misplaced his horse (the 500 model) and instead of looking for it, decided to become a lawyer and change the law of ownership so someone couldn't claim it as theres.

A school principle knew that the true meaning of education was to set fire to children and give them smallbox to teach them 'how to be men'.

Queen Victoria went to Hive Nightclub and got off with several men on the banks of Leith. And the horse was found and taken promptly to the glue factory.


Still 5-9 August available!

Show 2 Complete!

A tram driver who loved only trams and horses was pursued by a female homo sapien. His love for horses was under threat. Meanwhile a bouncer let in only 1 person to Hive nightclub, breaking the unity of a man and friend, and leading him to seek refuge in the ocean. A rubber factory's exploitative practices were put under threat and children decided to unionise, realising their demise was largely the fault of women.

After the sad death of Bessie, the tram driver realised he needed to marry this woman and they wed with rent-a-vicar with a rubber ring.

The seabound man decided to go back, and following a harrowing dash through Edinburgh's streets (falling on rubber, being acosted by children and prodded by ni**le fingers) he was reunited with his lost friend.

The moral: never go to Hive nightclub
