About the show
I'm Not Saying We Should, But What If We Did? is a 50-minute devised satirical comedy by Minotaur Theatre Company at Studio, Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2025. In the show, aspiring leaders Maud and Agnes appear on a Saturday night chat show with a radical proposal: ban men. What starts as small ideas escalates into a chaotic spectacle of smeared makeup and drenched mayhem, blending absurdist flashbacks and sharp dialogue to comment on the rise of celebrity politicians. Tickets are £10 (£8 concession) and the show is suitable for ages 14 and up.
Why see this show?
A sharp satirical comedy that uses clown logic and chat show absurdism to tackle very real anxieties about celebrity politics and gendered violence. Timely and messy in the best possible way.
