About The Optimiserables
Jacuzzi by Twilight is a dark comedy drama from The Optimiserables, running 50 minutes at Space 3 as part of Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2026. A grizzled private investigator teams up with a dewy-eyed homicide detective to unravel the mysterious murder of a journalist who dug too deep. Set in the fictional Metroville, they must outmanoeuvre crooked cops and scheming politicians who deal in the shadows — all before the case gets the better of them.
Why see this show?
A proper noir thriller with comic edges — murky politics, a journalist's suspicious death, and two mismatched detectives racing against the clock. Sharp, atmospheric, and laced with dark humour.
