About American Sing-Song (A.S.S)
Hole! is a musical comedy from American Sing-Song (A.S.S) staged at Cowbarn during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The show is a wildly absurdist love story set in the apocalyptic aftermath of an event called The Great Sucking, where a wrathful God has hoovered up the unprepared, leaving only a fanatical religious sect from Nebraska — along with anyone else who happened to be otherwise occupied. Part cabaret, part musical theatre, the production runs 80 minutes and carries content warnings for scenes of a sexual nature and strong language. Age guidance is 14 and over.
Why see this show?
Gleefully outrageous and completely committed to its own absurd premise, Hole! wraps a genuine love story inside one of the Fringe's more unique apocalyptic scenarios. If you appreciate musical comedy that goes somewhere unexpected, this is the one to catch.
