2022 Edinburgh Fringe
Rachel Jackson - Almost Famous
Rachel Jackson regales the audience with tales of fame never quite achieved, with some especially funny anecdotes about life as a jobbing actor. Tying into a wider discussion about mental health, Jackson is wonderful company for the start of a Fringe day.
Rachel Jackson is an award-winning, Scottish comedian with TV credits such as The Stand Up Sketch Show (ITV) and Edinburgh Unlocked (BBC). Almost Famous is about all the times she thought she was so damn close... The Rock tweeted her three times ffs! Also deals with her debilitating illness, OCD, but this show doesn't have a sad bit and is wet-your-pants funny. 'Jackson is a genius behind the mic, deserving of all the success she encounters.' ***** (EdFestMag).
