About Bloody Knees
Bloody Knees is a dark comedy by the amateur company of the same name, running for 50 minutes at Theatre 2 on the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. It follows Cass, a woman in her twenties who is a terminal layabout, and her best friend Georgie, who wants Cass to make something of her life and pay half the rent. The show hurtles through snapshots of young adult life — botched interviews, unrequited love, public hysteria, and a longing for childhood innocence. Age guidance is 12+, with warnings for distressing themes, scenes of a sexual nature, and strong language.
Why see this show?
Honest, chaotic, and instantly recognisable to anyone who's stumbled through their twenties — Bloody Knees turns the mundane disasters of early adulthood into sharp, kaleidoscopic comedy without softening the edges.
