About Fred Newnes
Tony Cony: Lost in New York is a clown, improv and sketch show by Fred Newnes, performed at Nic 6 (Nicolson Square Venues Courtyard) during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Tony — a courageous cone leaving the cone-fines of Coney Island for the first time — needs your support as he finds his feet in one of the world's scariest cities. Fred Newnes brings this character to life with low-brow humour on an epic scale, directed by Carlos Sandin. The show runs for 60 minutes, is strictly for ages 18 and over, and contains strong language, nudity and scenes of a sexual nature. Tickets are £8.
Why see this show?
Clown, improv and sketch combined around a genuinely strange central character — a cone navigating New York. The absurdity is committed and the audience is very much part of the journey.
