 The modern
Prometheus and his dealings with Greggs bakery. A ten-foot squid with a medical degree who
lives in a cupboard. And the inherent risks of Christine.
Writers' Bloc stalwart Andrew C Ferguson spreads his wings in three themed solo shows at
the Free Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Spoken-word performance from a man with another world
locked inside his head -- which, frankly, is where it should stay.
Wednesday, August 13th Laughing Horse @ Jekyll & Hyde, 17.40
– 18.40:
Foreign Parts. Sipping sherry with a werewolf in Cordoba.The gastrointestinal approach
to surviving conference hotels. And those cheeky Ballingristani nose-flute players.
Sunday, August 17th Laughing Horse @ Espionage, 13.40 – 14.20: Edinburgh
Tales. Your upstairs neighbour with a hair fetish. John Knox makes a surprising return.
And a screenwriter whose heart is forever in Easter Road.
Wednesday, August 20th Laughing Horse @ Jekyll & Hyde, 17.40 – 18.40:
Fifestyle. The Fife connection to Frankenstein. Living death in Glenrothes. Fairies with a
football fixation.
Random acts of poetry and music will also be committed during the performances. With
special guests.
"Puts the Baal into Balamory... Spry and profane ... all the energy and vigour of
early Irvine Welsh, but with far more humour and nuance." Stuart Kelly, Literary
Editor, Scotland on Sunday.
All shows are free, but Fifestyle card holders get in extra free.
