Scout Boxall: God's Favourite
Impatient Productions • Professional company
About the show
Scout Boxall presents a darkly funny solo show at The Box at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, exploring a single harrowing night stranded in regional Victoria without medication for the first time in twelve years. In order to survive, Scout imagines life in the Middle Ages, trawls the internet, makes peace with their own mediocrity, and briefly surrenders to God. The show combines storytelling and stand-up in a piece described as raw and unflinchingly real. The show contains distressing themes, strobe lighting and strong language. It is suitable for audiences aged 14 and over.
Why see this show?
A harrowing night retold with genuine wit and unflinching honesty — Scout Boxall's manic withdrawal becomes a strangely joyful piece of storytelling that you won't quickly forget.
