Edinburgh Fringe
Alex Franklin: I Must Reach the Summit, Please God I Must Reach the Summit
'I shall drag myself through the flames of hell; and from the ashes I shall be born anew.' Self-proclaimed people's champion Alex Franklin attempts to carve their face into comedy's Mount Rushmore, and blow the whole thing to smithereens. An absurdist, chaotic, musical, lightning-fast, generation-defining show that will be talked about by Alex's therapist for years to come. As seen/heard on Channel 4 / HBO Max / BBC Radio 4. 'Undeniably ludicrous comedy gold' **** (Entertainment-Now.com). 'Eclectic, risk-taking and inventive' (Scotsman).
