About the show
Eggs Aren't That Easy to Make is a queer rom com presented by Big Sofa Theatre & Counterminers at the Jersey venue during Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2025. When Claire drunkenly asks her best friend Dan to be her sperm donor at a university party, a deal is struck — and ten years later, the two friends are making good on their promise. The show is written by Maria Telnikoff and directed by Lauren Tranter, runs for 60 minutes, and is suitable for audiences aged 14 and over.
Why see this show?
A warm and funny new piece of writing that finds fresh drama in an unexpected friendship arrangement. The premise is perfectly pitched — comic but with real emotional stakes — and it's the kind of original new writing that the Fringe does best.
