2022 Edinburgh Fringe
Shelf: Hair
A queer double act riffing on, amongst other things, how many people mistake them for young boys. Destined for the big leagues.
Shelf are a musical comedy double act. Sort of. One of them is tone deaf, so technically they're a musical single act plus guest. Hair is their highly anticipated debut hour about one bizarrely life-changing haircut. Over 1 million views on BBC Three. Founders of The LOL Word. Musical Comedy Awards finalists, 2020. Funny Women finalists, 2019. 'Cool and relevant' (Skinny). 'Clever and catchy' (Bruce Dessau). 'The talented twosome find belly laughs in heavyweight topics like mental health, sexuality and gender' (DIVA).
