#IsThisEssex?
Wes Defoe and Sorabh Dhir • Semi-professional company
About Wes Defoe and Sorabh Dhir
Wes Defoe and Sorabh Dhir grew up in Essex and never quite fitted in — until they realised the best way to blend in was to stand out. Their show at Just the Attic at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe takes audiences behind the glitz and gloom of growing up in Essex, with stand-up and storytelling that challenges the county's popular image. The show also includes a free CBD drink from Little Ricks for the audience. The show involves audience participation and strong language. Age guidance is 18 and over.
Why see this show?
Two comedians who grew up as outsiders in Essex take ownership of their own story — funny, warm and a little unexpected, with a free drink thrown in.
