About Kirsty Mann
Kirsty Mann – Corpse (WIP) is a work-in-progress show performed at the Former Gent's Locker Room during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Mann, a writer-comedian, presents a real-life ghost story that asks whether you believe in ghosts — and sets out to change your answer. The show sits at the intersection of theatre and comedy, and carries a content warning for distressing or potentially triggering themes. Mann has received previous recognition at Fringe World and the Adelaide Fringe.
Why see this show?
A ghost story that started as comedy and became something harder to categorise — Mann's storytelling draws you in and keeps you unsettled long after you leave. The work-in-progress format means you are seeing something still being shaped, which adds a welcome edge.
