People of Edinburgh: grab a peel. Join the rebellion and prepare to cry so hard you accidentally laugh. Watch a prolific director guide a company of comedians through his dramatic masterpiece, as you shower them with bottomless banana peels!* Have you ever suffered at the hands of theatre, yet felt obligated to join in endless ovations and applause? A Night of Drama does not want your pity! If the director fails to deliver a dramatic show, peel him without mercy. But if he succeeds, you will cry and theatre shall live another day. *Peels provided.

About Jack and Zoe Comedy

A Night of Drama is an interactive comedy show from Jack and Zoe Comedy, performed at Belly Button during Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The show sees a prolific director guiding a company of comedians through his dramatic masterpiece while the audience showers them with bottomless banana peels — all of which are provided. The conceit asks whether theatre can survive audience scepticism: if the director fails to deliver something dramatic, the peels fly; if he succeeds, theatre lives another day. The show features audience participation and improvised elements that may touch on sensitive themes.

Why see this show?

If you've ever sat through ponderous theatre feeling obligated to applaud, this show is for you — banana peels included. Jack and Zoe Comedy have built a show around audience scepticism that is both gleefully anarchic and oddly touching.
