American comedian Candace Bryan performs this stand-up hour at the Bothie as part of Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The show takes on the modern compulsion to shop, exploring what happens when the mall is always in your pocket. Bryan poses questions including what kind of person reviews a toilet brush online, what really happens when you bomb a job interview at Vogue Magazine, and whether a thirst trap can work on Goodreads. Joke-packed and uproarious, the show runs 60 minutes and is suitable for audiences aged 16 and over. Tickets are £10.
Why see this show?
Sharp, joke-dense stand-up about the very modern experience of shopping as a personality disorder. Candace Bryan tackles consumerism with wit and specificity — the toilet brush bit alone is worth the ticket.
