UNDERBELLY announce first herd of EDINBURGH FESTIVAL shows
HAVE YOU HERD THE LATEST MOOO's
Underbelly release the first of this year’s herd into the Pasture
Underbelly Head Farmers, Ed Bartlam and Charlie Wood, are delighted to announce the headline shows for Underbelly’s 12th Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
Tickets for all these shows are on sale now at www.underbelly.co.uk
First of the moo-vers and shakers down the farm track that leads to E4 Udderbelly is the sensational Ruby Wax, with her critically acclaimed show:
Ruby Wax: Losing It.
At some point in our lives 1 in 4 of us will be affected by mental illness... Bring 3 friends!Ruby Wax had it all – career, dream house, husband, kids, so when was the moment she realised she was the 1 in 4... Somewhere between painting her kitchen beige (again), realising she didn’t own a life manual or comprehend the contents of a children’s party bag? Ruby’s acerbic, honest humour and Judith Owen’s touching songs are both poignant and laugh-out-loud funny. This will be Ruby's first full run at the Fringe since 1987.
E4 Udderbelly 05th - 29th Aug 16.10 (17.30) not 15th

And finally, bringing up the rear of this first herd to be released to market, is Scotland's number one funny man with an all brand new show for 2011.
Craig Hill – Blown by a Fan...!
