2018 Edinburgh Fringe
Flo & Joan: Alive on Stage
Another strong hour from the deadpan musical comedy duo. This time they take on inappropriate tweets, crackers and sex robots. Hilarious, original and very enjoyable.
Following a sell-out run of their critically acclaimed 2017 show The Kindness of Stranglers, musical comedy duo and sisters Flo & Joan return to Edinburgh with a new hour of their dark and witty songs. 'These intricately crafted, flawlessly performed numbers will have you howling with laughter one minute, wiping away a tear the next' **** (Telegraph). 'Their style is stiletto sharp, their diction perfect as they race through their complex rhymes' (Evening Standard). Winner - Best Musical Act (Leicester Comedy Festival 2018). Winner - Best Music and Variety Act (Chortle Awards 2018).
