Flyers & Street Shows

Our team is beginning to come together in Manchester for our pre-Edinburgh warm up show, I'm scrabbling around in the back of cupboards to find the last few props, and the BBC Weather website is receiving extra hits every hour or so as I continually check the Edinburgh forecast, hoping the incessant rain it's predicting might transform into something a little more flip-flop-friendly.

In more specific news: the flyer designs are now complete, ready to be handed to hundreds of complete strangers over the next few weeks.

We have also secured ourselves a number of street performance dates. On the 6th, 9th, 10th, 12th, 13th, and 14th, we will be gathering crowds on the Royal Mile. If you're dodging manic flyerers and see us making examples of ourselves, please stop by and watch.

Once again, thanks to Jo Painter for her work on the flyers. They're about to be spread over the streets of Edinburgh.

Finalising Flyer Design

Jo has developed the sketches further to give us a far more dramatic image, the addition of Charlotte and Emmanuel's characters gives it context and the backdrop really gives that dramatic atmosphere.

Also, it took me a few viewings to notice the map of Africa on Angelique's torso.

With the design almost complete and the rush to find the rest of our props, time's beginning to get very short. But what's a show without a last minute rush to make us all lose our minds?

10 days until our first Edinburgh show. Can't wait.

Thanks again to Jo Painter for her work on the flyers, more of her work can be found on her tumblr.

Flyer Design Sketches

With our travel and accommodation plans being finalised, it's time to begin the online, social media barrage.

First off is the development of our flyers;

Jo Painter is working on these, and we have a couple of sketches to from early in the design process.
