Edinburgh Comedy Preview Double Bill: Sara Barron & Rob Auton

Sara Barron: Anything For You – Work in Progress

Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee, Sara Barron (Would I Lie to You?; Live at the Apollo) has a new show that’s fierce, savage and other adjectives from RuPaul’s Drag Race.

The clock is ticking, and the questions aren’t cute anymore: is it your fault you’re angry? Are you too old to blame your mum? And why is she angry? Can we get some grief pie? No one’s died, but we’re exhausted. Do not sashay gentle into that good night. “Deliciously dark, unapologetically filthy… a masterclass” ★★★★★ (Herald). “Beautifully crafted” ★★★★ (Sunday Times).

Rob Auton: The Eyes Open and Shut Show – Work in Progress

This is a show about eyes when they are open and eyes when they are shut. With this show I wanted to explore what I could do to myself and others with language when eyes are open and shut. After writing ten shows on specific themes, I wanted to think about what makes me open my eyes and what makes me shut them.

“A genuine original” (Guardian). “The mother freaking greatest” (James Acaster). “Very hilarious” (David Shrigley). “A genius” (Bridget Christie). “Makes laughter out of wonder. We need him” (Scotsman).
