EDINBURGH 2017: BWW Q&A- Charlie Baker
Click Here for More on Edinburgh Festival
Tell us a bit about your show.
The Hit Polisher is my hilarious love letter to pop music, a funny look at why we like nostalgia and an idea of how to cope with a milestone birthday. I do stand up, sing, dance and emote. It's a one man jukebox musical about the last 2 years of my life.
Why bring it to Edinburgh?
I think as a comic you need to be in Edinburgh at least one year in two to stay relevant. It also gives you the chance to do exactly the show you wish to do.
What sets it apart from other shows at the Fringe?
I'm in it.
Who would you recommend comes to see you?
Anyone who likes entertainment and is looking for a laugh and a song and is into overweight men knocking out some smooth tap dancing.
Are there any other shows you're hoping to catch at the festival?
Tom Allen, Phil Wang Sara Pascoe, Spencer Jones, Suzi Ruffell, Rosie Jones, John Robins, Angela Barnes, Ivo Graham, Dane Baptiste Kiri Pritchard McLean, Lloyd Griffith, Simon Evans I mean I could go on and on it's all good isn't it? Just go and see something.
Timings and ticket information for Charlie Baker: The Hit Polisher are available on the edfringe website.
