Edinburgh Fringe
Lorna Rose Treen: Skin Pigeon
A character-based comedy show featuring imaginative staging and many laugh-points. The versatile Lorna Rose Treen introduces us to many characters, including her delinquent Brownie creation which has already won her awards.
Character comedian Lorna Rose Treen has been pretending to be other people for fun since she could dress herself. Now she's inviting you inside her mind for an hour of characters, comedy, content, content, content, costumes and content. The greatest thing to come out of Redditch since the fishing tackle. The debut show from Chortle's Best Newcomer 2023 and Funny Women Awards' first-ever double winner ([y[2022[/y]). 'I laughed so much I violently bit my tongue' (Independent). 'Off-kilter energy and unflagging commitment to the silly' (Chortle.co.uk).
