  • Jessica Regan in 16 Postcodes at the Edinburgh Fringe
    Aug 4 2024

    Twenty years, 16 postcodes, one city. In her debut storytelling show, Jessica Regan (BBC, Channel 4, Guilty Feminist) shares lessons lived and learned from a life in no particular order. Each show is drawn from true tales of love and landlords, of mice and men and more, told with help from the audience who will play their part in her odyssey as she moves North, South, East and West, finding out which is best. This is a journey through an impenetrable city with an all-too-open heart. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you rent cos you can't afford to buy...

    Where: Pleasance Courtyard, Edinburgh Fringe
    When: 1-26 August (not 12), 3:30pm
