Why I Stuck A Flare Up My Arse For England returns to Edinburgh for its final run, presenting a hilarious one-man show about an ardent football fan, Billy Kinley.

Written and performed by Alex Hill and directed by Sean Turner, this show explores themes of identity, belonging, and the lengths one goes for love and acceptance amidst the backdrop of English football culture. The production has won multiple awards and has delighted audiences across the UK and beyond.
