Why did eight uninvited theatre companies turn up in Edinburgh in August 1947, accidentally creating the Fringe?

Rhys Nicholson - Kyran's husband - is in the guest chair, and the brains trust includes a member of the actual household: Hopkins the dog, on stage and alarmingly candid. Phoning in to help are Shrek, who maintains his film is a documentary of his life; Soft Touch Sherelle, a TAFE-trained Ipswich wedding celebrant with very strong views on uncles filming the bride; and Raffaello Esposito, the Neapolitan pizzaiolo who takes pineapple on pizza straight to the ICC as a war crime.

A new episode of Wax Quizzical with host Kyran Nicholson, Claire Hooper, Amy Ruffle and Tim Hewitt.

The improvisors on Wax are all members of Something Good - a weekly improv show, every Wednesday at Comedy Republic - 38:174/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">tickets to Something Good are available here.
