ED: the totally unofficial ginger-inclusive sketch show
A late-night comedy of remixed pop hits parodying Ed Sheeran’s rise to stardom return.
Accompanied by a glittering live band and transferring from five star reviews at Edinburgh Fringe, don’t miss Ed: the totally unofficial ginger-inclusive sketch show, charting the story of the ginger pop sensation who just wants to play music. He’s our ginger hero!
Starring Rosie Parrish and ensemble cast, Ed combines joyful comedy, first-class musical talent and a kid with suspiciously decent guitar skills. Can Ed survive fame, fortune and being ginger? A cheeky and raucous night out of remixed pop hits, slammin’ music industry pccadilloes and championing auburn culture.
Compared to the works of Bo Burnham (Varsity newspaper) and featuring multiple inauthentic gingers, Ed is packed with parody remixes of pop songs, character sketches and cameo appearances including a sequin-jacketed Rocket Man. Audience members also have the chance to participate onstage in a live game show. The show is classic sketch comedy with a modern twist, and best consumed after dinner or drinks (or both).
