Award-Winning Solo Show IS THIS NORMAL? Returns to Edinburgh Fringe
Running 11–23 August 2025 at theSpace @ Surgeons Hall.
Following a 4-star 2024 EdFringe run, Ansa Edim returns to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe with now with awards like Best Storytelling and the Extension Award at NYC Fringe and features on Lupita Nyong’o’s pan-African storytelling podcast Mind Your Own. A bold new staging of her solo show Is This Normal?, is running 11–23 August at theSpace @ Surgeons Hall.
Equal parts memoir, stand-up, and drunken late-night voice note to her future self, Is This Normal? is a riotous, raw, and deeply personal live storytelling experience. Edim, a Moth StorySLAM Champion and Kennedy Center performer, weaves themes of love, shame, identity, and fat Black womanhood into a hilarious and cathartic narrative about learning to take up space in a world that tells you not to.
Is This Normal? tells the true story of a woman (Edim) who believed the lie that she could be the funny fat friend, but never the main character—until she started asking questions that unraveled everything. A show about making mistakes and (sometimes) learning from them, you'll leave wondering how Ansa's wild stories can be so specific, yet so uncomfortably relatable.
Are you ready to laugh, cry, cringe, or a healthy mix of all three? Get your tickets for Is This Normal? today!
