Book NowAbout the show
Dregs is a darkly comedic theatre show by Tin Can Contingency and Midnight Lotus Theatre Productions, performed at the Upper Theatre (Round) at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Two characters — Fisch and Neck — are lost souls rummaging through the spiritual rubbish heap of life. Through clownish antics and hilarious hijinks, the misfit duo grapples with the ethical, moral and biological implications of the modern world, exposing the underbelly of capitalism and greed. The show is a provocative and entertaining exploration of the good, bad and ugly sides of existence. It runs for 60 minutes, costs £12, and is suitable for audiences aged 16 and over.
Why see this show?
A riotous, absurdist spectacle that uses clown comedy to ask uncomfortable questions about modern life. Expect genuine theatrical invention alongside the laughs — this is provocation wrapped in silliness.
