Fab Goualin: Mixed Messages
AEG Presents • Professional company
About the show
Fab Goualin makes his Edinburgh debut with Mixed Messages, a 60-minute stand-up storytelling show presented by AEG Presents at Wee Room during Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2026. The show draws on growing up mixed-race and middle class — often the only person of colour in the room — and the lifetime of awkward assumptions, accidental anthropology and code-switching that followed. The confusion, Goualin argues, was as much internal as external. Suitable for ages 16 and over, tickets from £9.
Why see this show?
A fresh perspective on identity and belonging told through personal storytelling rather than polemic. Goualin's premise — the code-switch as both survival skill and source of confusion — gives the show a real emotional core alongside the comedy.
