About Dan Bishop
Brainsluts is a new comedy play by writer Dan Bishop, performed at 10 Dome during Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2025. Brainsluts is a slang term used for participants of clinical drug trials. Five Sundays. Five strangers. One mystery drug. As the trial unfolds, these guinea pigs discover the sheer lengths each of them will go to just to fill the silence — oversharing ensues, secrets emerge and the stresses of their precarious lives are laid bare. The play runs 70 minutes and is suitable for audiences aged 14 and over. Tickets start from £10.
Why see this show?
A tightly constructed comedy about five strangers in a drug trial who end up revealing far more than they intended — the precarious lives and escalating oversharing make it one of the more compelling new writing shows at the Fringe.
