About this show
A one-woman parody with a lift, this bold, funny riff on the 1987 cult classic Dirty Dancing is packed with sharp wit, physical storytelling and playful audience connection. The colourful crew from Kellerman’s Resort comes to life with a twist, fuelling this fast-paced, high-energy ride: no partner required. Dirty Dancer invites you to relive the nostalgia, revel in the joy and have the time of your life... because nobody puts this Baby in a corner.

If you love the film Dirty Dancing, then this show is the show for you at the 2026 Edinburgh Festival Fringe. For everyone, this is part deep dive, part re-staging, and a glorious hour of wallowing in teenage memories.
— From the North (4 out of 5 stars)
I would recommend this one, for all the Dirty Dancing lovers and joy spreaders out there, fun, clever, camp, nostalgic and even factual — you might just learn something you didn’t know about the movie before you came to…
