EDINBURGH 2017: BWW Q&A- Matt Winning
Tell us a bit about Filibuster.
It's a 45 minute lecture on climate change from an environmental economist and comedian who has spent the majority of the last 9 years thinking about the biggest collective problem the planet has faced since WW2. It's funny though. I promise.
Why bring it to Edinburgh?
It's the best place there is to do interesting, experimental comedy. Plus I love Edinburgh as a place. Basically this show wouldn't exist without Edinburgh.
What sets it apart from other shows at the Fringe?
It's topical and about an issue which literally effects everyone on the world. And I'm easily the most qualified comedian to talk about it.
The only other show which has all those qualifications is Alfonso Banana's 'A Peruvian's Guide to Shortbread' at the Suplex Arms on the £3.23 Fringe.
Who would you recommend comes to see you?
Anyone who is interested in climate change and also anyone who isn't.
Are there any other shows you're hoping to catch?
Joseph Morpurgo, Stuart Laws, Jon Pointing, Annie McGrath, Bilal Zafar and Joz Norris.
Matt Winning performs Filibuster at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, at Just the Tonic at the Mash House, from 3rd - 27th August (excluding 14th) at 5:00pm. More info and tickets are available at www.mattwinning.com.
