About Alright?
The Deadmouse and Peabrain Dreams is a 50-minute dark comedy by Alright? at Space 1, Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2025. In a dead-end town, sisters Jodie and Shannon run a funeral business from their dad's basement while rehearsing for the X Factor as their great escape plan. Jodie has the voice of an angel; Shannon has a laser-pen show and a prophet's delusion. Blending clowning, Commedia and tightly choreographed dance, the show crackles with razor-sharp timing and character switches. Tickets are £14, with a concession of £10. Contains strobe lighting, strong language and audience participation. Suitable for ages 16 and over.
Why see this show?
Dark comedy with a physical vocabulary to match its ambition — two sisters, a funeral business, an X Factor audition and a set of character switches that never miss a beat. Clowning and Commedia in a show with real emotional stakes.
