Mel McGlensey is Normal is a collaborative clown show from professional company Bright Side Presents, performed at Below during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Mel McGlensey takes the stage for 60 minutes and hands control to her audience, who decide what happens — plumbing the depths of normaldom together. Co-created by Douglas Wilson and directed by Sharnema Nougar, the show blends physical comedy and audience-led chaos. It contains audience participation, strong language, scenes of a sexual nature, pantomimed violence and partial nudity. Age guidance: 16+.
Why see this show?
No two performances are the same — the audience literally writes the show. If you enjoy physical comedy with genuine unpredictability and a performer willing to go anywhere the room takes her, this 60-minute experiment in collective clowning is worth your evening.
