About Euan Munro
Playback is a 60-minute new writing theatre show at the Former Women's Locker Room, part of Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2026, by Euan Munro. Set in 2013, it follows Euan — camcorder in hand, bowl cut and a dream — as he combines live performance with his real childhood YouTube videos. This cringe-filled comedy nostalgia trip spirals into a story of dark ambition, online predators and digital ghosts. Suitable for audiences aged 12 and over, with tickets starting at £10.
Why see this show?
A show that uses real childhood footage to tell a story that turns darker than expected. The combination of live performance and genuine home video makes this a distinctive and thought-provoking piece of new writing at an accessible price.
