REVIEW: Sophie's Surprise 29th | Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2024


"Brilliant physical artistry and jaw-dropping routines."

After a successful run at the Edinburgh Fringe last year, Three Legged Race Productions returns with Sophie’s Surprise 29th.


Featuring world-class performers from Cirque du Soleil and Britain’s Got Talent, this interactive show of cabaret and circus swing into town to celebrate Sophie (an unsuspecting volunteer from the audience) turning 29.


Brilliant physical artistry and jaw-dropping routines coupled with laughs and fun interaction makes for many gasps and cheers from the audience.


With aerial acrobatics, unicycle riding, roller skate spinning, and a good dollop of 90s teenage angst, Sophie’s Surprise 29th is one wild party. Just don’t tell Sophie!


⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

EDINBURGH FESTIVAL FRINGE

For three weeks in August, the city of Edinburgh welcomes an explosion of creative energy from around the globe. Artists and performers take to hundreds of stages all over the city, presenting shows for every taste. Venues can be anywhere, from existing theatres and concert halls to repurposed spaces like bars, parks, buses and shipping containers. The Fringe street events bring colour, excitement and vibrancy to outdoor areas, free of charge.


From big names in the world of entertainment to unknown artists looking to build their careers, the festival spans every genre of live performance, including theatre, comedy, dance, physical theatre, circus, cabaret, children's shows, musicals, opera, music, spoken word, exhibitions and events.


The Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society, a registered charity, is the company that organises the structure that underpins the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The level of commitment required for such an undertaking would not be possible if it weren’t for the enthusiasm of the people of Edinburgh, combined with the longstanding support of our audiences, sponsors, supporters and the goodwill of the Fringe Friends and Angels.


The Fringe Society strives to provide support that exceeds participant and public expectations, and we ask you to join us in supporting this challenge. Every penny you give makes a difference, helping us to develop the services we provide for performers and audience.


There are a number of ways of supporting the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society, from one-off donations to becoming a Fringe Friend.
