Betty Thompson: Work in Prosecco
Betty Thompson • Amateur Company
About Betty Thompson
Betty Thompson is an Edinburgh native bringing her character Nicole to life in a comedy show set at a girls' night in. Nicole is the enigmatic Edinburgh girly — she's got picky bits, a pile of Lost Marys, and some very unanswered questions about a notorious missing flight. Betty balances a semi-serious office job alongside performing, which means she's only doing this show for three dates. Sharp, clever character comedy that celebrates the peculiar magic of a certain kind of Edinburgh woman.
Why see this show?
A sharp, funny slice of character comedy set at a girls' night in, with Betty Thompson bringing her distinctive Edinburgh creation Nicole to the stage for just a handful of Fringe dates. Witty, inventive, and a little bit strange — exactly what the Fringe is for.
