COMEDY

Paul Foot: 'Tis a Pity She's a Piglet
This year Professor Ketchup and his camembert piglet join forces as Paul tackles the big issues such as terrorism. Plus, Ant and Dec, immigration, X factor and breakfast. 'Sublime, original and brilliant' (Independent). 'Surreal, unique and over all too quickly, he's the only Paul Foot available at the Fringe' **** (EdFestMag.com). 'Utterly outlandish, but beneath layers of absurdity is Foot's sharp eye for satire' **** (Time Out). 'He's a comedy whirlwind from the school of Spike Milligan... it's risky to call someone unique, but Foot is certainly pretty close' (ThreeWeeks).

THEATRE

JOAN
Put your drinks down and your hands together, all the way from Domremy in France (via Soho and 600 years) it's JOAN! An earthy story of courage, conviction, hope, survival and love, this is Joan of Arc - the world's first drag king? Packed with guts, heart (and some well placed couscous), JOAN fuses lyrical new writing with drag king cabaret. Performed by Drag Idol Champion LoUis CYfer. Written and directed by Lucy J Skilbeck. 'Emotional ballast and cross-dressing that looks like sorcery' (Guardian) on JOAN.

MAGIC/COMEDY

Pete Firman - TriX
‘The UK's leading comedy magician’ (Time Out) returns to the Fringe to celebrate a decade of sell-out shows. Star of BBC1's The Magicians and guest on BBC2's The Sarah Millican Television Programme and BBC1's The John Bishop Show. Expect Pete's trademark blend of crowd-pleasing comedy and jaw-dropping magic. ‘The man from Middlesbrough sets the pace for comedy-meets-magic in the 21st century’ (Times).

THEATRE

Bucket List
Multi award-winning Theatre Ad Infinitum (Translunar Paradise, Ballad of the Burning Star, Light) presents the powerful story of one Mexican woman’s fight for justice. When her mother is murdered for protesting corporate and governmental corruption, Milagros finds herself with only a bloodstained list of those responsible.

Using physical storytelling, live instrumental music and song, Ad Infinitum unfolds a story about love, loss and revenge.
