About Amanda Knox
Amanda Knox: Cartwheel is a solo comedy show by Amanda Knox at the Wine Bar at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Knox is approaching 40, juggling motherhood and facing an existential crisis: what if she peaked at wrongful imprisonment? The show explores how she grapples with explaining her past to her daughter, who is already asking to hear the story of Mama Goes to Italy. It asks whether she can protect her daughter from everything, knowing her own mother couldn't protect her no matter how hard she tried. The show runs for 60 minutes and is suitable for ages 18 and over. Tickets from £12.
Why see this show?
Amanda Knox turns one of the most scrutinised lives of the last two decades into an hour of sharp, personal comedy. The central question — what if she peaked at wrongful imprisonment? — is both funny and genuinely unsettling.
