Description

The Parky Players return to Edinburgh Fringe with Shaken, not Stirred: a fiercely funny, no-holds barred variety sketch show about the modern-day challenges of living with Parkinson’s. A cocktail of fast-moving, irreverent comedy and music, with a sprinkling of Bond on top (just where he likes it). You’ll laugh, you’ll cry; you might even learn something. 00 agents, film enthusiasts and blue-badge holders welcome. We’ll be expecting you!

What an uplifting show! A nice balance of silly entertainment sprinkled with helpful information about Parkinson’s, complete with rapid costume changes and audience participation. Great fun but also inspirational.

We were unsure whether or not we would view this performance but we were so pleased that we did! A sensitive subject is handled with humour and no sense of self pity. The actors convey their message of frustration (so little Government help to find a cure) and explanation of the different aspects of Parkinson’s very well and one can only wonder at and admire their tenacity and talent. A must see show.
