2019 Edinburgh Fringe
Lolly Jones: I Believe in Merkels
EU leaders swap negotiations for disco, tassels and glitter in this 'razor sharp blend of burlesque and comedy' (EdFestMag.com). In a bawdy display of razzmatazz, Merkel, May and friends rip it up and lip-sync for the leadership. Also featuring Lolly (BBC Three, ITV, and Comedy Central) as Marine Le Pen, Nicola Sturgeon and probably her mum (if she agrees to it). 'This provocative political satire is astounding' **** (List). 'Niche burlesque at its best' **** (WeeReview.com). 'Bizarrely euphoric... guaranteed to leave you wanting more' **** (EdFestMag.com). 'Had the audience in hysterics' **** (FunnyWomen.com).
