Three Canadian acts will have their UK premieres at the Edinburgh Fringe this year:
Confessions of a Redheaded Coffeeshop Girl by Rebecca Perry
18:30, Gilded Balloon Teviot - Balcony
Anthropology graduate Joanie Little is stuck working as a barista. Much like Jane Goodall did with chimpanzees, this upbeat Miss studies her available subjects: the customers of her coffeeshop 'jungle'... hilarity ensues!
'Our eyes and ears are locked into Perry's performance!' NY Stage Buddy

Best Musical 2014 - BroadwayWorld.com
'Solo performance at its best, with Perry rolling out a cast of characters ... like a wild kingdom field guide! I dare you not to fall in love with Joanie and, by extension, Rebecca Perry.' Toronto Star
Toronto & NYC Fringe 2014 sell out!
Morro and Jasp Do Puberty by Morro and Jasp
20:00, Gilded Balloon Teviot - The Turret
A hilarious look at the best period of your life. Clown sisters Morro and Jasp are at that age where the hormones are always flaring, the telephone keeps ringing, and the punk rock can never be too loud. As Morro attempts to hide from feminine hygiene products, Jasp longs for womanhood and the boy of her dreams. This smash hit explores the trials and tribulations of growing up.
Canadian Comedy Award winners. Best of Fringe

'Charming, hilarious, superb piece of theatre - positively captivating' ***** Vue
Seán Cullen: I Have Returned ... Briefly! by Seán Cullen
21:00, Gilded Balloon Teviot - Debating hall
I have returned. Briefly! No, those aren't the words of General Douglas McArthur in the Philippines. No, it's award-winning comedian Seán Cullen in Edinburgh for one night only. He will never liberate the Philippines but he's a lot funnier than McArthur who was by all accounts a sour a-hole. Come see the comedic music, improvisation and weird that made him a legend at the Fringe.
"If you've seen him before, nothing will keep you away. If you haven't, see him as a matter of urgency!" ***** Guardian
