Animal? is a work-in-progress stand-up show from Gabrielle MacPherson, performing at The Wee Room at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. MacPherson takes the audience through her preparations for life — a hammer and Vaseline, fighting ostriches, and farting through keyholes — always bracing for the worst, just hoping not to get murdered. The show is all about surviving monsters while being an absolute animal herself. Running for 45 minutes, it is suitable for adults aged eighteen and over. Tickets are £2.50. The show includes audience participation and contains distressing or potentially triggering themes.
Why see this show?
Deadpan, surreal and very funny — Gabrielle MacPherson's work-in-progress takes a delightfully odd look at survival and self-preservation. A bargain hour from a distinctive comedy voice worth catching early.
