Description
Claire is an actor – not a very popular one. She’s putting up a one-woman show to change that. (The Wake of Ur Problematic Fav) Prty Grl documents the highs and lows of the raucous, licentious, outrageous creation of a young woman’s early 20s. Wine-soaked with commentary on addiction, family, (pop)cultural domination, post-modern apathy and the theatrical industrial complex itself, it might just become a smash hit if she can actually commit – to the bit, and to herself.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.

A really fantastic one woman show with a particularly interesting format. Really funny and definitely makes you think!

A high speed chain of thought , that flits in every direction. Claire has you giggling along one moment , then tugging at your heart strings the next. The laptop monologue is sublime, it has you wanting to hold out a hand in support. I should have been on a train, I'm so glad I decided to stay and watch instead.

PRTY GRL by Claire Tumey at GREENSIDE Infirmary
A fragmented, stream of consciousness from this hipster-tragic millennial, who knows the party is over but can never leave. So many ideas here, in a dexterous performance, which might not be everyone’s shot of vodka, but I found it captivating, hysterical, moving and provocative.
Self-seeking fights self-loathing, as this ADHD addict claws at her compulsions - like the dark night of Lindsay Lohan’s lost soul.
Tumey makes a meta virtue of incoherence and puts more physicality into the tiny playing space than most folk can muster on the grand stages.
Tumey is a striking, intelligent talent; if this piece is too much for you - the self-obsession and denial of reality - then I would say, let’s see what she does next. One to watch. I hope she doesn’t burn up before she begins.

Wow! What a tonic. Somehow the character(s) that Claire Tumey creates simultaneously charm, haunt, and devastate you...all while making you question- was that funny? or am I laughing because I'm worried for her? A proper good time with bits of introspection that leave you considering your own state of sobriety and how that relates to your capacity for creation. Sarah Elizabeth Yorke's direction accompanied by Hannah Bird's design fill the studio with joy, chaos and endless surprises. 4 Stars
