| Lizard Brain: Debut 8pm. Wed 4th July at The Miller |
Can you feel it? Can you smell it? Can you touch it on the chin, stare into it's deep blue eyes and tell it how much it means to you? Yes, you can. The biggest event in the world is heading our way in a matter of weeks, and we can't flipping wait.
That's right, the Edinburgh Fringe Festival is nearly here. An entire month of balls out, laugh a minute comedy and entertainment. Revelling in the spirit of that, we have such things at The Miller. Including a full-fat Edinburgh Fringe preview of the very wonderful comedienne and our jolly good friend; Cariad Lloyd.
Add to that an improvised film competition and a a debut show from our favourite gaggle of scouser impro-folk.. woo-hoo!
Now, put your balls away:

WEDNESDAY 4TH JULY
THE FREEWHEELIN' CARIAD LLOYD
and LIZARD BRAIN
We open with a debut show from the excellent and fair contingent of Liverpudlian improvisers, recently exodussed from Merseyside. Probably on a ferry. Lizard Brain are Herman Gambhir, Lauren Silver, Helen Foster, LeeMcPherson and Jack Darrell. It may be grim up North, but down here it's snowing joy-lizards.
And then, it's Edinburgh preview time again, with a chance to see Cariad Lloyd's brand new show. Last year she nearly won the prestigious Best Newcomer award. This year - semantics aside - we think she could be a major contender again.
