THE SHOWS
Doug Segal: I Know What You Are Thinking
Fresh from its sell out Edinburgh Fringe run! The only mind reading show where the audience is the
star. Mentalist Doug Segal (BBC1, BBC3, MTV) teaches audiences to detect lies, read minds &
implant suggestions using skills from his psychology and advertising background Persuasion
techniques, statistics, body language and two key advertising skills – cheating and lying!
Hard science abused for tawdry entertainment. With laughs, rakish charm and rock 'n' roll attitude.
“A solid hour of unflagging amusement ... I've seen Derren Brown live before now and I can honestly
say I enjoyed Segal's show more” FringeGuru.com
“Just watched Doug Segal. A really excellent mentalism show. Heart stopping. The highlight of my
day” (Neil Gaiman, Author, Screenwriter & Coolest Man On The Planet).

RANKED #1: BIGGEST ONLINE BUZZ OF THE EDINBURGH FRINGE (VIA EDTWINGE.COM, AS SEEN ON
THE GUARDIAN WEBSITE)
Rom Com Con by Mace & Burton
After a sell-out Edinburgh Fringe run, join Mace and Burton for their real-life, utterly truthful romp
through the rom coms! Have you ever watched a romantic comedy and wondered "Could that
actually happen in real life?" Lizzy Mace and Juliette Burton have. And they've decided to find out!
Join them as they try talking to coma patients (While You Were Sleeping), standing on street corners
(Pretty Woman) and going on a date with a guy whose paddling pool they used to play in (Bridget
Jones's Diary) - all in an attempt to find The One. Do the rom coms hold the key to finding true love?
Or are they all just one big con?
“Funny and heartfelt...as full of hope and heart as any Hollywood flick.” Cambridge Evening News
“Darling of the stand-up documentary Dave Gorman is preparing for another crowd-pulling show;
but across the street, Lizzy Mace and Juliette Burton have perfected his art. …Full of laughs and with
the odd tear-jerking moment thrown in for good measure…perfect for anyone who’s ever despaired
of finding love.” Three Weeks
“Sweet, funny…the feel-good hit of the summer, guaranteed to make you smile” The Skinny
“A brave and successful crusade to find out how true to life Hollywood romance really is…If Richard
Curtis made a film of this, he wouldn’t even have to alter a word.” Blastocyst.org.uk
INVITED TO PERFORM AT THE BRAND NEW SCIPMYLO FESTIVAL IN SEPTEMBER 2011 ALONGSIDE
ACTS SUCH AS JO BRAND, JOSIE LAWRENCE, MILTON JONES, ED BYRNE AND STEPHEN K AMOS
Choose Death by Casual Violence
Fresh from their critically acclaimed, award-winning run at this year’s Edinburgh Fringe!
Casual Violence have worked out the meaning of death. The good news is: it involves Siamese twins
working as hitmen, smelly deathbeds, bubble guns, lonely clowns in Santa hats, and completely
armless serial killers. The way we see it: if you’re going to die (and you are), you might as well die
laughing… Casual Violence invite you to journey into the abyss with their twisted cast of outcasts, for
a brand new show all about the final word. Sharp jokes, physical comedy, live music and wonderful
new characters are all guaranteed…
“Ludicrously inventive.” Three Weeks
“A stand-out show from an exciting comedy group.” Fringe Guru
