About the show
Front for Something is a free stand-up comedy mixed bill from Playgod Productions, running for 60 minutes at Just The Attic. Three characters — Tilly, Tommy and Katie — find themselves in need of somewhere to launder some dubious earnings and decide two weeks of unregulated Fringe comedy is the perfect solution. Each has their own urgent priorities along the way. The show is billed as alternative comedy and is suitable for ages 16 and over, with no content warnings listed.
Why see this show?
A free, anarchic mixed-bill comedy show with a gloriously ridiculous premise — the kind of chaotic, anything-goes Fringe spirit that makes the festival genuinely surprising.
