About Maria Ansdell
Closure Cabaret is a debut clown show by Maria Ansdell, running 50 minutes at Stephenson Theatre, Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Hosted by the ever-optimistic emcee Razmatastic, the show takes audiences through the saga of her love life and the twisted world of modern dating. Past exes are brought back to the stage for their very final performance, in what is described as a vaudevillian spoof and emotional exorcism combined. The show involves audience participation and is recommended for audiences aged 16 and over.
Why see this show?
A debut clown show that frames romantic misadventure as vaudeville — emotionally honest but played for spectacle. If you've ever wanted to watch your own exes roasted on stage, this is the closest you'll get.
