About Camilla Borges
Camilla Borges: Be Not Afraid! is a comedy show by Camilla Borges at Nic 9 (Nicolson Square Gardens) during Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2026. Camilla has a theory that who you played in your school Nativity shaped who you grew up to be — she played Mary, so surely she should be a CEO by now? Part school play, part diary entry, the show invites audiences to help Camilla grow up and face reality, featuring high levels of audience interaction, silliness and unmet potential. It runs 60 minutes and is suitable for audiences aged 12 and over. Tickets are £7.50.
Why see this show?
A funny and surprisingly tender show about millennial angst dressed up as a school Nativity — the audience interaction keeps it lively, and the central premise of playing Mary versus living like Lorde is a genuinely original conceit.
