2019 Edinburgh Fringe
News@1066
Set in a TV studio, News@1066 puts history straight! Roving reporters get to the bottom of history's biggest stories. Fast-moving and wacky, this one-woman comic show races across time from one breaking story to the next! Historical fact mixes with modern technology - screen, sound effects and music as anchorwoman Alice Roberts interviews live celebs from the past (spoilers: Anne Boleyn in a life jacket; Richard III's parking fine). This show is a belly full of laughs - accessible to all. Totally unique and jolly good fun!

News@1066 is a must see - intelligent humour combined with a light hearted take on British history. One for all the family!
Fantastic showing of News@1066 last night in Salcombe, Devon. Laugh-a-minute run through the great moments in history - who would have known that Ann Boleyn couldn't swim, and parking attendants actually live for so long!! Could this be the new Monty Python - Alice is one to watch.
