Under the Influence is a new musical comedy presented by The Gilbert Twins and Speakerphone Productions at The Dairy Room during Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2026. Identical twins Carine and Frances — best known as @thegilberttwins to their millions of followers online — land in couples therapy after becoming a viral sensation. The session erupts into a musical intervention reckoning with sisterhood, online pressure, and the search for individual identity. The show features an original score co-written by Shona Maule, runs for 60 minutes, and is suitable for audiences aged 14 and over.
Why see this show?
Two performers returning to their musical theatre roots to tell their own story — loud, ridiculous and unexpectedly heartfelt. The sisters' dynamic gives this new musical real comedic and emotional charge that sets it apart from a straight stand-up hour.
