EdFringe 2014 Round-Up – Overlooked
Another August, another Edinburgh Fringe!
My first hour of character comedy, Overlooked, which premiered at Adelaide Fringe earlier this year, had a full run at Freestival as part of the Edinburgh Fringe in August. Named among Broadway World’s Top Four Comedy Shows, and Fringe Review’s Top Twenty Freestival Acts, with jokes appearing in the Daily Mail pick of the best jokes at the Fringe and the Independent pick of the best jokes at the Fringe, and an interview alongside other Fringe performers with links to Second City for a feature in The Scotsman, what a month it was!
