About Courtney Buchner
Courtney Buchner brings a deeply personal, joyfully chaotic hour of stand-up storytelling to Bothie at Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Big, If True explores the currency of oversharing, the lies we tell ourselves and the stories we tell each other. Expect South African family drama, queer revelations, a lot of salt, some goldfish and a side of One Direction woven into 60 minutes of candid, genuinely funny comedy. Suitable for ages 16 and over; contains audience participation and strong language.
Why see this show?
Oversharing as an art form — Courtney Buchner's show is chaotic in a way that feels carefully constructed. It's personal and funny without being self-indulgent, and the mix of South African family drama and queer revelations gives it real texture.
