With credits including _Everybody’s Live with John Mulaney_and_ Everybody's in LA_, Connor now brings his razor-sharp perspective to the Assembly stage at Edinburgh Festival Fringe. His one-man show _Sorry: A Candian's Apology for America_ explores the chaos of American politics and culture through the eyes of a queer Canadian immigrant. It’s one of the must-see shows of the Fringe. We caught up with Connor to ask five quick questions about what he’s most looking forward to at this year’s **Edinburgh Fringe**. ![Ucwlw Mzr9 P K02o K Gty Ub9au Njgs Si J8f Q Ks Hn B2s](https://assemblyfestival.pazaz.studio/assets/7daad643-1c0f-4cb3-9d8e-6d84a6386f18.jpg?width=1900&height=800)Image is of Connor Malbeuf performing on stage. ### **Three things I'm taking to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe?** My Nespresso, a newly formed gluten intolerance, and unresolved issues with America. ### **What’s the most Fringe thing that’s ever happened to you (or that you’re bracing for)?** I mean Trump landed in Scotland the same week I did. He’s obsessed with me. Honestly, it’s getting weird. ![W Xosc J X1x Sv0 H Inpx Vu C7 Wx Onwf Pt Zu P W42 C0 F4c](https://assemblyfestival.pazaz.studio/assets/7cfc7abb-c268-4f22-9b6f-42fce702487c.jpg?width=500&height=500) ### **Who should absolutely come and see your Edinburgh Festival Fringe show?** Come to _Sorry_ if you're tired, confused, angry, hopeful, or just need to feel something that isn’t existential dread. Whether you are politically engaged or not, come laugh at the madness. I’ve worked in Hollywood for 8 years, inside the machine, alongside the chaos. I’ve got stories. And maybe, they’ll help us make sense of it, or at least laugh through the collapse. ### **What other Edinburgh Festival Fringe shows or artists are you excited about this year?** The guy screaming outside the Waitrose on Comely Bank road has been doing a tight five on the cost of living crisis. Maybe him. Oh, and [Rosie O'Donnell,](https://www.edfringe.com/tickets/whats-on/rosie-o-donnell-common-knowledge) [Cat Cohen](https://www.edfringe.com/tickets/whats-on/cat-cohen-broad-strokes), [Laura Benanti](https://www.edfringe.com/tickets/whats-on/laura-benanti-nobody-cares).
