EDINBURGH 2017: BWW Q&A- Gary Tro
About the show:
This is a show for everyone who feels a lack of fulfilment. This is a show for anyone who struggles with perseverance. This is a show about commitment... maybe. As seen on BBC iPlayer and as not seen on BBC Radio 4, stand-up Gary Tro - ***** (ThreeWeeks) - brings his hilarious, joyously angry debut show, SupercalifragilisticexpiGARYTROcious, back to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe for the second consecutive year.
SupercalifragilisticexpiGARYTROcious explores how to find happiness when you're incapable of seeing anything through to completion.
Why bring it to Edinburgh?
I'm actually bringing it BACK due to complete lack of demand. The show was a massive commercial disaster last year - hardly anyone saw it. I was in a venue in butt-fudge nowhere at a ridiculously competitive time. However, the feedback from everyone that did come was overwhelmingly complimentary. And I love doing it. I think it's a fantastic show, which I'm really proud of. It's some of the most hilariously honest bullshit you'll ever see. (When you've printed this, can I use that as a quote??)

What sets it apart from other shows at the Fringe?
As well as being the best named show on at the fringe, it's also an hour of intensely hilarious fury...
Who would you recommend comes to see you?
Anybody that struggles with committing to something... do try and stay for the whole show though!
Are there any other shows you're hoping to catch at the festival?
There are loads, but here are the edited highlights: The Kagools, The Just Us League, Next Best Thing, Joz Norris, Tez Ilyas, Richard Todd, Sunil Patel, Harriet Kemsley, Stuart Laws, Matt Ewins.
Timings and ticket information for Gary Tro: SupercalifragilisticexpiGARYTROcious are available on the edfringe website.
