About Scott Turnbull
Surreally Good is Scott Turnbull's solo Edinburgh Fringe show, returning for a second year. Scott plays the finest 'Edutainment Officer' in the business — a leading expert in overhead animation and lo-fi storytelling, a renowned descendent of the Turnbull Family Edutainment programme and a grieving son who has gone, in his words, a little bit freaky-deaky. With the Wilkes Booth Corporation bearing down on him, the show's charming yet unreliable narrator wrestles with the pressure of real life. The show won Best Performance at Newcastle Fringe.
Why see this show?
Overhead animation, lo-fi storytelling and a narrator who may not be entirely trustworthy — Surreally Good is genuinely singular. The Guardian called it 'weird and wonderfully warm', and returning for a second year means the show has been refined.
