An Ode to the Casting Director

The 2026 OffFEST nominee returns to Edinburgh after a smash-hit debut with five-star sell-out shows, winning a Fringe Theatre Award in 2025. Impressively accoladed solo show written and performed by screen actress Sophie Fisher (The Scotsman's Rising Stars of Edinburgh Fringe 2025) following her gawky yet determined autobiographical self battling through a minefield of film industry dickheads, gender-role-obsessed boyfriends and insane actors, one audition at a time.

★★★★★ 'Ready for the West End' FringeSider
★★★★★ 'Hilarious, heartfelt and completely captivating' CorrBlimey
★★★★½ 'Electric performance, tour-de-force' One4Review
★★★★ 'On-stage camera work is a masterstroke' TheatreAndTonic
