Imagine a world where Swedish pop sensations ABBA never really existed... What if we're living in it? Jenny Ryan (ITV's The Chase) is finally ready to go public with her theory of the Mamma Mia multiverse. She's given this a lot of thought. Arguably too much thought. Who really did write Waterloo? Was Andy Garcia a child soldier? Is ABBA Voyage a collective hallucination? How did that horse get into Meryl Streep's basement? And, crucially, what's Gillian McKeith's role in all of this? A singalong comedy investigation/cry for help.

About the show

Jenny Ryan – Björn Yesterday is a singalong comedy investigation by Ishra Productions, performed at the Cabaret Bar as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Jenny Ryan, host of The Chase on ITV, presents her theory of the Mamma Mia multiverse — a world where ABBA never really existed. She has given this a lot of thought. Arguably too much thought. The show tackles questions about Waterloo, ABBA Voyage, and the roles of various pop culture figures in this elaborate theory. Described as a singalong comedy investigation and cry for help, it runs for 60 minutes and tickets start at £10.

Why see this show?

A comedy show built around an elaborately sustained conspiracy theory about ABBA — warm, musically participatory, and hosted by someone who has clearly committed fully to the premise. Good fun for anyone who knows their Mamma Mia from their Waterloo.
