2017 Edinburgh Fringe
Ingrid Oliver: Speech!
Ingrid Oliver returns with her debut solo show featuring an eclectic mix of characters, all giving the speech of their lives. From a teary Oscar acceptance speech to a TED talk, from a right wing politician's rant to a bridal toast, these people have a lot to say and they are giving it both barrels. Co-creator and star of Watson & Oliver (BBC Two), as seen on Doctor Who and Plebs. 'A heady mix of good writing and committed performances' (Guardian). 'Ingrid Oliver can really act' (Independent). 'Original writing, superb acting' (TheArtsDesk.com).
