Roll up for new French & Saunders
A MONTH from now Edinburgh will once again be buzzing to the sound of excitable students in fancy dress begging you to see their show.
But we can save you that ordeal. Each week we will bring you the shows to attend.
Careering, Gilded Balloon Teviot in The Turret, August 3-29 (not 15). Tickets: tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/stokes-and-summers-careering KATE Stokes and Claudia Summers aka Stokes & Summers are French & Saunders MKII.
The pandemic allowed them to create their first podcast pilot, The Stokes & Summers Sketch Show and they parodied Notting Hill for this year’s Red Nose Day at the request of Richard Curtis who made a cameo.
For their Fringe show they will explore the workplace. Claudia said: “Following dreams can be difficult in this modern world but everyone deserves to give it a good go, and we’re here to have a laugh about it with everyone along the way.”
