Shows Set in Public Bathrooms at Edinburgh Fringe 2025

-All Times in BST- Kings on Thrones

"Seven men are trapped in toilet cubicles within purgatory. Will this punishment prepare their souls for the afterlife? Struggling with their unresolved sins, they anonymously share their frustrations and desires experiencing conflict, reflection and confession. Each man is challenged by the contrasting personalities that are also trapped. On top of the absurdity, this new comedy concentrates on deep themes of male health and existential reflection, challenging the view of male tropes in the modern age. Kings on Thrones is an absurd comedy about self-realisation, transformation and the messy journey towards redemption."

Loos Loos

"Freya and Lou are seventeen and share everything: body spray, teachers’ green-biroed exasperations, their awkwardly navigated sexuality. Loos Loos spotlights six weeks of their friendship. Set entirely in the toilets of their ordinary school where they feel safe to be themselves, they attempt to bar the entry of darker outside reality. This unflinching portrayal of adolescence is intense and funny, rude and raw. There is a party and an assault. The girls struggle to breach the gap between experience and understanding – how can you confront assault and revenge porn before you have the language to name it?" 16:00 - 16:50 (50min) Aug 1-16 (except 10) Clover Studio at Greenside @ Riddles Court Link

FLUSH

"Set in the heart of a Shoreditch club, April Hope Miller's FLUSH unfolds entirely in the women's bathroom. Over the course of one night, stories slip between the cracks of the cubicles: teenage drama, thirty-something fatigue, love, loss, career spirals, sex, motherhood, bad dates and worse decisions. Billie has just experienced something she can't quite name yet. As she hovers between shock and clarity, the bathroom becomes a strange kind of shelter. An ode to the women who hold your hair back, hype you up, and sometimes just hand you loo roll. Finalist for the Charlie Hartill Award 2025." 12:15 - 13:15 (1hr) Jul 30-31, Aug 1-25 (except 11, 18) Upstairs at Pleasance Courtyard Link
