Description
Lecoq-trained physical performer and Fool, Saskia Solomons, morphs into a myriad of inner personalities as they wrestle with the ickiest of sticky icks: money. Daring to dive headfirst into the belly of the elephant in the room, this semi-improvised solo show is a ridiculous and disarmingly honest exploration of belonging, class and inequality by a closet rich kid.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.

Excellent concept and performance. One of a kind. Definitely worth attending because so many shows are the same at the fringe and this is unique and well executed. Educational, funny, intimate, relatable. Great!

This show from start to completion is the perfect show that puts laughter into place and upon watching the show Fool's Gold had manerism that had elements of the early days of Mr Bean in there as that is res[ect, we wont tell you how the show goes as it will spoil it but what we will say is this unlike Bean there is talking between the plump talking piece of gold that gives you the belly laugh we all need and it does deliver as the show discussed finacial states and much more complete with audience participation so its in a whole a show we would like to recommend as its funny with some carzy but hilarious physical comedy and this show comes highly recommended

This show is an absolute must see for anyone who wants a true Fringe experience. You get to see an artist who you can tell is making art not for extravagance and fame but because it’s a need for them. A love of the game. It’s a wonderful time just for that let alone how great the actual substance of the show is. Truly hilarious when it wants to be, but also bring you down to earth with some heavy dialogue and subject matter without getting bogged down and preachy. The limited set and props work wonderfully to pull you into the performance and dialogue and by the end I genuinely felt like it was a conversation and not a one woman show. Watch it you won’t regret it.
