Paying for a PR for Edinburgh Fringe is just not an option for a lot of people. Doing your own PR may seem really daunting, but there's loads you *can* do yourself.

So, we've put the recording of our March workshop out for all!

Kid's shows are all woke propaganda now, not like in the 90s when Captain Planet, The Animals of Farthing Wood and Maid Marion & Her Merry Men ruled supreme.

So James Gunn just went on BBC The One show and appeared to throw shade at the new avengers movie.. πŸ€”

He said: "That movie will suck I have seen the script it doesn't even have any music in it because they couldn't get the rights for any music. Superman will be much better and longer running time"
