New show: 'for your consideration'
Edinburgh Fringe 2025
11th-25th August 1.20pm
Bothie, Gilded Balloon
For Your Consideration is a cinematic solo character comedy sketch show, taking you back to a time when stories were made for the family, not for viral views. Inspired by old VHS tapes and handwritten plays, Jess creates a universe of characters that were only intended for her living room. Directed by the award-winning Elf Lyons, each vignette captures a different genre or director’s lens, paying tribute to her decade to working for a cinema. Growing up, the Carrivick household was a place where play and performance was not just expected but encouraged. Through a character-driven performance, Jess rediscovers the untold stories living in her dressing up box.
