About A Lovely Time
Hannah Platt returns to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe with Cult Classic, a new stand-up show following her multi award-nominated debut. Performed under company A Lovely Time, the show asks what happens when you have sacrificed everything — should you sacrifice your soul? And can you do it online? Described as the voice of a new generation, Platt explores cult dynamics, vulnerability and deeply personal territory with comedy that draws blood. The show runs for 60 minutes at the Attic and is suitable for ages 16 and over. It contains a content warning for discussions of suicide and suicidal ideation.
Why see this show?
Hannah Platt's writing is sharp, emotionally honest and formally inventive. This is a follow-up that takes the themes of her debut further — into cult logic, sacrifice and the internet — with wit that doesn't soften the real subject matter.
