Description
Trying to get through the many challenges of their day, a team of young co-workers in a broken system begin to have their limits pushed to the extreme. How much pressure can one person take? There’s a wedding on the lawn, a promotion on the line and a badger on the grounds. How will they put out all those fires? And is there really a badger causing havoc on the estate? Badger is a new piece of writing that highlights the recent issues that are affecting young people today.Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.

Nae Bad. Very funny, my cheeks hurt from smiling so much. The whole cast was incredible. The script was very modern and felt very true to the stressful times in a workplace.
Ps. Outstanding performance from Wiktor, hope he finds the clitoris.

This is a cracker of a show: sharp, funny script and perfectly paced. I felt like I was in the room with them. Great performances and characters you root for or love to hate. Go buy a ticket.

If you like a fast paced comedy that keeps you on the edge of your seat i would highly recommend Badger. The talented actors highlight the character’s individuality’s clearly and throughout the show each character has their moment to shine. Along with the comedy there are also times that make you feel empathy for the characters in different ways. Five stars from me!

Just really, really brilliant. Chaotic, wild (like its namesake), hilarious, and at times surreal. All characterisations. all 8 of them, are very well done, each actor shines through. The play is superbly written, and the light/sound production is spot on. Don't miss it!
Marie McWilliams 31 days ago
Intensely funny, the characters are so well portrayed. You can definitely identify with the stress they find themselves in and yes we've all had work colleagues like these. Well written, produced and slick. Can't wait to see it again.

Kevin Marchand 32 days ago
The cast and Director should take a bow! Great pace execution and precision. The story could be described as a "Fringe" confection but it works well and the performers make it worth seeing

Really f****ing good! Loved it, definitely the best show I’ve been to all fringe.
Eilidh Barn 35 days ago
An engaging and clear journey throughout. Funny, fast and abstract in the best way possible. The weirder moments were so well done, it kept the show interesting and unpredictable - there was no way I could predict what was around the corner. A must see this fringe!
