2022 Edinburgh Fringe
Tarot: Cautionary Tales
If you are visiting Edinburgh in August, it's essential to see a sketch group. And if you're ever wondering which sketch group to see, you should choose Tarot. A consistently superb Fringe act, their shows are chaotic with amazing punchlines.
Come learn life lessons from five people still doing sketch in their thirties. A new show from Tarot, creators of 2019's fifth best reviewed show, Chortle's No 1 show of 2019 and stars of their own Radio 4 sketch show, Soundbleed. Tarot is the lovechild of Goose and Gein's Family Giftshop. By which we mean it's a drain on our bank accounts and we don't talk to our parents about it. 'Bark-out-loud funny... the whole show is startlingly live' **** (Guardian). 'One of the balls-out funniest show of the Fringe' ****½ (Chortle.co.uk).
