About Broads in the Attic
Broads in the Attic is a comedy variety show from the company of the same name, performed at Just The Attic as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Celia and Mavis — played by Diana Aydin and Mikayla Sherfy — are two zany old NYC broads who secretly live in an Edinburgh attic and may have killed their husband. Now they're looking for a third roommate, interviewing comedians and audience members for the coveted spot. The audience casts the deciding vote in this interactive sketch, improv and character show. Runs for 60 minutes, suitable for ages 12 and above.
Why see this show?
Silly, warm and gleefully interactive — Celia and Mavis are characters you'll want to spend time with, and the audience gets a real say in how things unfold. A fun pick for anyone who enjoys improv and character comedy.
