About IAM
Lara Ricote's INKLING is a solo stand-up show presented by IAM at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, performing at Monkey Barrel 3. Described as her stupidest and smartest show yet, it is about how to salute the mystery of being alive — sparked, the description suggests, by a man in a museum being mean to her. The show involves audience participation and contains strong language. It runs for 60 minutes, is suitable for audiences aged 16 and over, and tickets start at £9.
Why see this show?
A personal, playful solo show about leaning into life's oddities rather than away from them. Ricote writes with warmth and self-awareness, and INKLING promises something both silly and genuinely thoughtful in equal measure.
