bye bye 💛 #edfringe

huge congratulations to all the other artists and @ThePleasance for an incredible month of exceptional work 👏

From the 48 shows I saw at #EdFringe2023 here are my favourites: @bacontheplay, @1OntroerendGoed funeral, Bill O'Neill amazing banana brothers, @amancanthem and #darknoon @eicc.

Saw the incredible @AMancAnthem yesterday, took friends of mine and they were blown away too. Nail biting! Great start to our fringe weekend! You can’t go cause it’s finished it’s run but I’m pretty sure it’s going to return somewhere soon! Love and power to @rlyle96 🎭

Wow. Mighty. @AMancAnthem at #edfringe - nabbed a last minute ticket at a deservedly 5star, sellout show. Tight, pacy writing that doesn't drop a beat and a stunning, visceral and charismatic performance from it's solo protagonist. Important, inspiring & powerful storytelling.

Saw four sold out #EdFringe shows yest but the one I'm still thinking about is @AMancAnthem - a tale of class identity & finding your place in the world when you feel like you don’t fit in. Huge congrats to all involved. Hope to see this touring the North one day soon. 🤞🐝

Enjoyed @AMancAnthem at #Edfringe2023 yesterday ☺️ N-joi's Anthem featured whilst Tommy took us on a one man performance with his final night out in Manchester before having to deal with what the world's gonna hit him with before an emotional ending 🎶 Well done everyone ☺️👏

and we have SOLD OUT for tonight 🐝 check back with @ThePleasance just before the show tonight for any tickets that are released 🕺

thank you for the ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ @ElaineC_reviews! 🐝

@AMancAnthem A Manchester Anthem! Beautiful one man show, the kind of honest storytelling about class and family trauma, subtle when necessary but hits hard. Excellent uses of music and one great set change, and anchored by a wonderful lead performance. Stunning cathartic ending

Travelling home from #EdFringe2023. In case you’re going up for the final weekend my top three recommendations are @AMancAnthem @DavidAlnwick #Necromancer and #TheBlackBluesBrothers. Oh and @mattforde of course!

over the moon to have won Broadway Baby’s Bobby Award!!! 🏆 thank you so much for the support @broadwaybaby - having Richard come in at the end of our show last night was a brilliant surprise 🤩

Ok Fringe favourites: 🎧 A Manchester Anthem @AMancAnthem 🎤 Things Hidden Since the Foundation of the World @TraverseTheatre 💨 International House of Vape @IHoVape 🚬 Lady Dealer @mwatsonallpress 🍺 Strategic Love Play @painesplough 🌳 An Oak Tree @LyceumTheatre

Finally getting around to tweeting my highlights/recommendations of #EdFringe2023 so far. Some of these may be sold out or have finished their run here but keep an eye out for them in future. Try see them if you can. @CrashBurnsPlay @AMancAnthem @mydadwearsadres #FrigidShow

A true standout - @AMancAnthem. Punchy & dynamic storytelling, visceral performance, great staging. Incredible tunes that can help us connect the dots between life's challenges & milestones. An important story, go and see it whenever you get a chance! (2/..)

What incredible writing and amazing performance @AMancAnthem #EdFringe2023

🧵As I head home from my little trip to @edfringe this year here are my top picks ✨ • @AMancAnthem @ThePleasance cracking acting, banging tunes! • @painesplough Strategic Love Play, super funny, gorgeous relationship politics

7 hour journey to the fringe but @AMancAnthem made it worth it. A total knockout. An energetic, loving ode to Manchester, mates and mums. Texted mine after to remind her she’s ace.
