Google Genesis Theatre Productions and KinkyFishAbout the show
Edinburgh-based improv troupe KinkyFish, presented by Genesis Theatre Productions, takes audiences back to Victorian Edinburgh for entirely improvised comedy tales. Each show is spun from a single audience suggestion, bringing to life a cast of urchins, lords, apothecaries and publicans against a backdrop of foggy streets, ivory towers, scientific advancement and haphazard medicine. No two performances are ever the same, and the story is genuinely untold until the night itself.
Why see this show?
If you love comedy that is made up on the spot from nothing but your own suggestion, this is the show for you. Fifty minutes of hilarious Victorian invention with a genuinely Edinburgh troupe — warm, inclusive and completely unpredictable.
