Edinburgh Fringe 2015

We had THE BEST time at the Edinburgh Fringe last year, when we emerged starry-eyed into the world and premiered our debut show So It Goes. (Relive the good times here.)

This year, So It Goes returns to Edinburgh for the last week of the festival:

Over the summer, we'll be spending several weeks working on our new show.  We'll be announcing details of public work-in-progress performances soon. In the meantime, enjoy this sneaky peek behind the scenes.

British Council film

With our UK tour over, we're looking ahead to the Edinburgh Fringe.  So It Goes will return for a limited run from 24 to 30 August, back at Underbelly, Cowgate where we premiered the show last year.

This time, we're part of the British Council Edinburgh Showcase.  The British Council have made this fantastic film, featuring an interview with Hannah and footage from the show.

Tickets for Edinburgh are on sale now!

Extra show announced for Shoreditch Town Hall

Possibly the best review we've ever had.  Certainly the most creative!

We're having a fantastic time performing So It Goes at Shoreditch Town Hall, in London. The final week has completely sold out and we've just announced an extra matinee performance at 4pm on Saturday 18th.  Tickets are going fast, so book ahead now!

The Times' Chief Theatre Critic, Dominic Maxwell, made us his Top Pick of the Week in Saturday's paper.  We were also a pick of the week in Metro and Time Out.

Since then, we've also had a 4 star review from Time Out and our second 5 star review from The Times!

Today, Metro put us in their Top 5 shows to see in London:

Here's a round-up of what our audiences have been saying on Twitter:
