About Aviary Talent
Sophia Wren: Princess Melancholy is a stand-up comedy show from Aviary Talent, performed at Eve as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Sophia Wren, who insists on dressing like a princess, explores her experiences with men, Irishness, body image, feminism, unexpected motherhood and the human body, all threaded with nihilistic and self-destructive dread. The show is described as charmingly lewd, self-deprecating and 'delulu'. It runs for 60 minutes and is suitable for ages 16 and over.
Why see this show?
Sharp, self-aware and genuinely strange — Sophia Wren combines a princess aesthetic with very adult comedy. Funny about the body, identity and dread in equal measure, and unlike most shows at the Fringe.
