Google In the Midst ProductionsAbout the show
American Assholes: Escape to Edinburgh is a stand-up comedy hour from In the Midst Productions, performed at Just The Bottle Room during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Three comics — Queer, African American and Indigenous American — come together for a cross-cultural show dissecting identity, politics and why Americans might be the worst. Smart and occasionally unhinged, they offer a Venn diagram of overlapping perspectives, united by a desperate pursuit of something better, possibly love and definitely a visa. The show includes a marriage raffle of dubious legality. It runs 60 minutes and is suitable for those aged 16 and over. Tickets are £12.
Why see this show?
Three distinct voices colliding in a single hour of modern social satire — funny, frank and unpredictable. The marriage raffle alone makes it worth showing up for.
