Full press release

Introducing what will undoubtedly be one of the hottest new acts at this year's Fringe, sketch duo Lazy Susan are two of the most funny, talented women to emerge in years. They will be performing their first ever hour of fun, character-driven sketch comedy - with smatterings of the dark and surreal but with plenty of heart - at the Pleasance Courtyard this August.

Humans on the edge. Humans on the run. Humans in double-denim. Lazy Susan unleash a gang of characters clawing their way back from the brink. Watch as they pour reality into a snow-globe and chuck it down the stairs in this daft debut hour from the anarchic (but friendly) sketch duo.
