About Heads on Crooked
Heads on Crooked presents Nosejob, a semi-professional absurdist comedy show running for 55 minutes at The Studio during Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2026. The piece follows a nose with a dream — to be adored, to be a West End star, to be the hottest girl in the world — but attention is fickle and the crowd is turning away. Described as a wild comedic ride about beauty, disgust and how our gaze shapes reality, the show is a reimagining of Gogol's The Nose for easily distracted times. Tickets are £12 and the show is suitable for ages 16 and over.
