Former English voice of Hello Kitty, Soness went from growing up homeless in a beat-up Datsun, to becoming one of Japan’s most recognisable English voices (until AI tried to replace her). Then she tried sumo wrestling. It didn't go well. Fast-paced storytelling blends voice acting, anime, video games, accidental athleticism, one spectacular injury. What happens when you realise you aren't the main character (and maybe never were?) Burbank Comedy Festival semi-finalist. 'One of the most genial hours on offer' **** (TheQR.co.uk). 'An intimate, fascinating glimpse into a life less ordinary – different, charming' **** (One4Review.co.uk).

About the show

Soness Stevens Kitano brings the Sumo Injury Comeback Tour to The Attic as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The show tells the story of a woman who went from growing up homeless in a beat-up Datsun to becoming one of Japan's most recognisable English voices — a former English voice of Hello Kitty — until AI tried to replace her. Then she tried sumo wrestling, and it didn't go well. Fast-paced storytelling blends voice acting, anime, video games, accidental athleticism and one spectacular injury. The show is free, runs for 60 minutes and is suitable for adults aged 18 and over.

Why see this show?

A genuinely unusual life story told with pace and humour — from homelessness to anime voice work in Japan to a sumo injury. Soness Stevens Kitano's show is strange, warm and unlike anything else at the Fringe.
