Victoria Falconer: Oxymoron

Edinburgh Fringe SpiegelYurt

| Aug 2-12, 14-26 | 18:20 | 1 hour | 14+ | 'Exceptionally talented' (Advertiser, Adelaide) co-creator of EastEnd Cabaret and Fringe Wives Club makes her solo debut! This biracial, bisexual multi-instrumentalist is an accidental self-contradiction. Too white to be brown, too femme to be queer, she’s swimming in a rising tide of opposing labels and identity politics. The only solution? Aim for the mainstream: write a musical. Armed with 'sharp, acidic wit' (GlamAdelaide) and a 'fabulously expressive face' (Herald Sun), Victoria conjures an honest, hilarious and intimate hour, improvising new songs everyday on a mini-orchestra of instruments, from theremin to violin to musical saw. **** (Fest). **** (BroadwayBaby).
