WTF it’s an Edinburgh Special26 Aug 202600:26:12

Show Description:

If you haven’t had enough of Edinburgh Festival Fringe, here’s your one last chance to take it all in. What the Fringe?! is thrilled to be recording live at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe this year. This episode was semi-curated by What the Fringe?! We received over 500 pitches this year. We narrowed it down to our top 125 shows, then invited every artist who pitched their show to us directly (not through a PR agent). Then it was a race to the Google form to see who could sign up first.  We are thrilled to feature their shows and fringy stories.

WTF with Lubna Kerr & Ihsan Kerr30 Jul 202600:38:41

Can a short conversation at the fringe turn into a podcast, friendship, and super fan? Yes! Last year at the Edinburgh Fringe, Lubna Kerr sat down with me in the Pleasance courtyard and chatted me up, even though I told her I didn’t have room in my schedule to see her show. Now she is here on the podcast with her son Ihsan Kerr, sharing all about their upcoming collaboration. (I’m a big fan!) And did you know that one small adjustment in your wording could get people from the “global majority” to your show, WTF?!

WTF with Tyler West and special guest Cleo DeOrio07 May 202600:39:07

At the ripe age of 7, Tyler West found his calling: to be a clown. While other clowns have a mask they can take off, Tyler’s dwarfism does not allow this. The beauty of fringe is that the artist gets to define who they are, and in Tyler’s newest show, Small Minded, he delves into all things clown, and gives us a peek into his life as a person with achondroplasia, a form of dwarfism. Tyler and Lauren are joined by special guest Cleo DeOrio, the show’s co-creator and director, and Tyler’s partner in life. And we may just uncover the secrets of WTF makes TimTam’s so good.
