After our lovely run at Adelaide Fringe, I couldn’t be more EXCITED to announce that we are taking Only Bones – Daniel Nodder over many oceans to perform (for the very first time 🌠) at the Edinburgh Fringe!! @edfringe
We are so chuffed to be working with the incredible @assemblyfest to present a full month-long run of this lovely little show in August. Bones will be bent, knees will sing, muscles will twist all like never before - with only one day off in the entire season, we will be working HARD in the world’s biggest fringe festival…
It’s been 10 years since @thomendling first performed Only Bones in Edinburgh Fringe, and 7 since Only Bones 1.0 was in the very same building as our venue. Super proud to continue this wibbly wobbly legacy 💡
