Description
Do you know the story of Diana? Probably. But do you know our story of Diana? We very much doubt it. Join Diana in heaven as she shares the untold and untrue tale of her extraordinary life. Combining drag, multimedia, audience interaction, puppetry and a lot of queer joy – this unique celebration of the People's Princess is as hilarious as it is tasteless. 'Hilarious, joyful and ridiculous to the point of sublime' (Deborah Frances-White, The Guilty Feminist – podcast). 'The most unhinged piece of theatre in existence' ***** (BroadwayBaby.com).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.

Think you know what this show will be like? You're wrong. It's infinitely more wonderful, hilarious, heart-warming and fun than you thought it would be. One of the hits of this year's Fringe, and rightly so!

A bad taste triumph! I personally saw it very much as a satire on the legend of Diana.

This was the show I was looking forward to most and it was camp and silly, and definitely a must see.

THE show to watch at this year’s fringe.
I don’t even know how to summarize the experience. Tbh it’s unlike anything I’ve seen before. Linus Karp as Diana is AMAZING and so is the rest of the cast (shoutout to the puppeteer).
I’ll be listening to “D-I-A-N-A” on repeat for the rest of the summer.

Wow, where to start?! This show was great fun, multimedia, audience particpation, Charles and the puppet (who will forever haunt my nightmares!!) Special shout out to the Queen, and of course the wonderful Lady Di. My only criticism is the show runs a little longer than feels necessary with multiple endings. But overall like nothing I've seen before and a great experience!

So much fun. Presented with style and grace, Linus is fabulous as Diana. Being part of the audience participation was a treat. One of my favorite Fringe shows.

This was one of the highlights of the Fringe for me. Really quite hard to describe, you just have to go and see it! Drag, puppetry, audience participation (which is really cleverly done, audience members have their lines put up on the screen so not too daunting. The ones at our show were mostly really good and up for it).

Loved the show. Was brilliant and funny. Enjoyed the fact members of the audience were also asked to participate.

LOVED this show soo much!! Was sooo funny and so ironic, so clever but also silly...some superb audience participation too which made the show even more funny. The actors were great, the one playing Diana was just fantastic and his sidekick soo great..the audiovisuals were so spot on. Diana is a great slick hilarious show..if you are looking for an hour of full on festy fun then Diana is the show for you! Go see and I guarantee you'll come out laughing with a spring in your step!

Hilarious, irreverent in all the best ways, and such a joy to watch. There is audience participation, which is really fun, and Diana tells you exactly what to do so it’s not too scary. Loved it!
