About BIGHEAD Comedy
Holly Spillar: Tall Child is a musical comedy show by BIGHEAD Comedy, performed at the Dexter venue during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. An hour-long examination of the impossibilities of being alive right now, Holly Spillar performs armed with a little red loop pedal and her ever-growing rage, finding catharsis through art made in conditions of genuine financial precarity. The show runs for 60 minutes, is suitable for ages 16 and over, and involves audience participation. Tickets start at £8.50.
Why see this show?
Musical comedy built around a loop pedal and real anger — not a prop but the whole point. Spillar takes the cost-of-living crisis personally, and the result is cathartic rather than bleak.
