Emma Holland brings a stand-up show about dead dogs to Studio Four at Edinburgh Festival Fringe, presented by Impatient Productions in association with Jubilee Street. She told her manager she wanted to write a show about dead dogs, and this is the result — a 60-minute comedy that promises audiences will leave feeling good. The show considers such questions as whether to ask a vet for a refund on euthanasia, all delivered in Holland's style of comedy and chaos. Suitable for ages 14 and over; contains strong language.
Why see this show?
The premise is bleak and the comedian is fully committed to it. Emma Holland's show is a case study in finding comedy in the worst places — and the promise that you will leave feeling good is part of the joke.
