2022 Edinburgh Fringe
Jake Farrell: Sky
Jake Farrell's Sky is a debut show of note. The Stevenage working class boy has a present writing style - this mixture of biography and flights of fantasy would land in both arts centres and rooms above a pub.
How far would you go for the people you love? Join Soho Theatre's Young Company alumni, rising comedy talent and naïve suburbanite Jake Farrell as he answers that question in his highly anticipated debut hour about family, the future and Stevenage. 'Jake is a natural... this is a nuanced exploration of youth, half-hearted liberalism, family ties and artistic expression' **** (VoiceMag.uk) As heard on Penguin Random House's Edinburgh Fringe Unlocked.
