Behind the Shows: Actors, Edinburgh and Fringe Life

What happens when performers from two very different Fringe shows sit down together to talk about theatre, Edinburgh and everything that happens beyond the stage?

In this episode of In Conversation with Tourists, I’m joined by performers from Emoji: The Hieroglyphs of Our Life and Big Tobacco’s Pinocchio for a lively, slightly chaotic conversation about their Edinburgh Fringe experience.

We talk about performing at the Fringe, discovering Edinburgh between shows, connecting with locals, what they would love to do on a day off, and the memories, encounters and ideas they’ll be taking home with them.

Two shows, plenty of unexpected detours, and one very Fringe conversation about what it really feels like to arrive in a city as both an artist and a visitor.
