Tasmin Sarkany (BBC New Comedy Awards shortlist 2025, Musical Comedy Awards finalist 2023) plays Amelia Crotchet, a classical musician in a double act with her violin. This is the most important concert of her career. Unfortunately though, Amelia is easily distracted. Expect silliness, musical puns, historically questionable facts about Bach and (if she gets round to it) some beautiful classical music. 'Highly skilful... ingenious' (Chortle.co.uk). 'Captured the spirit of musical comedy' (BeyondTheJoke.co.uk). 'Proof you can still have a completely original (and slightly bonkers) idea' (FunnyWomen.com). Photo by Andy Hollingworth.

About Tasmin Sarkany

Tasmin Sarkany plays Amelia Crotchet, a classical musician in a double act with her violin, in what is supposedly the most important concert of her career. Unfortunately, Amelia is easily distracted. Expect silliness, musical puns, historically questionable facts about Bach and — if she gets round to it — some beautiful classical music. A musical comedy show running 60 minutes at Wee Container 1, suitable for ages 12 and over. Tasmin Sarkany has appeared on the BBC New Comedy Awards shortlist and the Musical Comedy Awards final.

Why see this show?

A charming musical comedy that wraps genuine violin playing inside a character study of someone hopelessly prone to distraction. Clever, silly and surprisingly musical — it works beautifully as a standalone Edinburgh hour.
