Failure Project is a "Comedy drama...Or "dramedy" about Ade. Ade is a successful writer, or so it seems. She has everything she has ever wanted; her career is flying, she's (kinda) moved out of her mums house, her situationship isn't as complicated as she expected. Life is perfect?! But things don't always go how you plan, and Ade is about to find that out.?   

Creator and performer Yolanda Mercy says, "I'm thrilled to be premiering my new show at Edinburgh Fringe. The Failure Project will make you laugh, cry and feel seen" 

Failure Project is a comedic drama exploring what it means to fail and if it's possible to recover if you do, or think you do. Yolanda is a Summerhall Meadows Award Winner 2024 and returns to the venue with her latest exploration of life as a British Nigerian millennial in contemporary Britain.
