Alice Snedden: Self-Titled
Paradise Palms
Pleasance Courtyard 41 Lothian St
9:45pm – 10:45pm
Briefs: Close Encounters Assembly Hall 7:15pm – 8:30pm
Love, dance and scantily clad Australians – what more could you want? Boylesque with a political edge, Close Encounters combines dazzling costumes, spectacular choreography, and top-notch set design for a show that feels as essential as it does enjoyable. Also, trust us – you’ll want to enter the raffle.
A fantastically confident—and hilarious—debut, this set is an invigorating blast of late-night laughs. Her mother, her body, and her birth are all on the table as Snedden gives a whistle-stop tour of her life. An impressive finale justifies the newcomer’s bulletproof self-belief.

A lynchpin of Edinburgh’s creative community, you can’t leave Edinburgh without stopping by this veggie diner/dive bar/ performance space/record shop for some great soul food (and a drink, obviously). There’s also plenty on offer for vegans. Make sure you try the buffalo cauliflower.
