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 audienceās respect!
For their Edinburgh Airport debut, the troupe will performĀ “New Choice” a game where anyone in the audience can change anything about the scene they want by just yelling at it.Ā Itās 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 theĀ StageWon Editor’s Award in 2012, were recommended by theĀ Independent on SundayĀ as part of their weeklyĀ “Top 10 Comedy Acts in the UKā,Ā Time Out Critic’s ChoiceĀ andĀ Spiked OnlineĀ claimed BattleActs were 2013ās āBest Free Showā.
