2016 Edinburgh Fringe
Sarah Kendall: Shaken
The Foster's Best Comedy Award 2015 nominee and Comics' Choice Award winner returns with a brand new hour of masterful storytelling. In 1989, a major earthquake hit Sarah's small hometown. This disaster provides the backdrop for Sarah's tale of lies, stalkers, buried truths, false accusations, simmering tensions and overpriced sausages. 'Knocked the wind out of my sails' ***** (Herald, UK). 'Truly brilliant' ***** (Chortle.co.uk). 'A gripping experience' **** (Guardian). 'Kendall is a dextrous storyteller, dancing around dark moments, then skipping straight back to punchlines' **** (Times).
