Myrtle Throgmorton: Me and Parky
Jennie Chalmers • Amateur Company
About Jennie Chalmers
Myrtle Throgmorton: Me and Parky is performed by Jennie Chalmers at Lime Studio during Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Following The Ancient Heckler in 2015 and Stuffed and Mounted in 2017, the character of Myrtle Throgmorton returns, still blethering on about Burns, the Birdy Song, gussets, graphic novels, popguns, pole-dancing, and the underuse of alliteration. This year, Parky has got her all shook up. There will be a retiring collection in aid of Parkinson's UK, and there might be guests. Running 45 minutes, rated 12+, with audience participation.
Why see this show?
Myrtle Throgmorton's third outing is sillier and more personal than ever — a beloved character comedy with a retiring collection for Parkinson's UK at its heart. Warm, absurd, and full of alliteration.
