Description
Porridge After Meat presents a dark and twisted comedy about the cloistered lives of two co-dependent sisters and their cow. Living on their alcoholic father's farm in the middle of bum-fuck nowhere, join these potty-mouthed, greasy little misfits in hope, rivalry and a weird kinda love on their absurd and (sometimes) tender journey to true sisterhood. Gaulier grads and absurdist character-comedy duo Blaise Wopperer and Lara Ciulli bring you their Edinburgh Fringe debut in an obscene, whimsical and deeply stupid exploration of love, loss and loyalty.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.
