If you are travelling through Edinburgh Airport on Monday you might be forgiven for thinking you are already at the Fringe.
BattleActs will be there to introduce passengers arriving on domestic flights in the morning to their comedy party.
The comedians are two teams of fearless improvisers pitched against each other by a ball-busting compere. Each team attempts to prove their worth and battle it out for the ultimate prize: the audience’s respect!
For their Edinburgh Airport debut, the troupe will perform “New Choice” a game where anyone in the audience can change anything about the scene they want by just yelling at it. It’s the chance for visitors to turn into directors and immerse themselves in the spirit of the Fringe right from their touchdown in festival city.
They were awarded the StageWon Editor’s Award in 2012, were recommended by the Independent on Sunday as part of their weekly “Top 10 Comedy Acts in the UK”, Time Out Critic’s Choice and Spiked Online claimed BattleActs were 2013’s “Best Free Show”.
BattleActs have previously performed at the Comedy Store, London Zoo, the Camden Roundhouse. They recently performed at the Vault Festival in London’s Waterloo – selling out the entire run of 500 tickets before their opening night.
BattleActs Free Festival run is at Maggie’s Chamber @ The Free Sisters – The Free Festival, Edinburgh 2014, August 2 – 24 (not Mondays) @ 22:00
