About this show
The Academy invites you to witness every single movie the Carrivick siblings ever made between 1995-2001... ish. Digitised, dramatised and unlawfully re-edited into a kaleidoscopic hour of nostalgic cinematic characters. This BBC New Comedy Award and Sketch Off finalist is 'gearing up to conquer' (Dawn French). A 'fun hour' (Chortle.co.uk) from an 'extremely likeable and engaging performer' (ThePhoenixRemix.com) and a 'Masterclass' * (GetYourCoatsOn.com). Directed by the award-winning Elf Lyons. Expect parody, pastiche and popcorn.

What the reviewers said
We have captured 4 published reviews and 16 audience reviews for this show from the Edinburgh Festival Fringe’s own listing. The excerpts below are the reviewers’ words, not ours — follow each link for the full review.
With many rapid costume changes and lively use of props, this is a highly theatrical show that goes way beyond the limits of mere stand-up comedy.
— Get Your Coats On (5 out of 5 stars)
3.8 stars Jess Carrivick brings her kaleidoscopic hour of nostalgic character comedy, For Your Consideration, to Gilded Balloon at the newly reopened Teviot in Bristo Square for the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
Character comedy seems to be in rude health at the Fringe this year with some incredibly talented acts finding inventive ways to approach the medium. You can add Jess Carrivick to that luminous list.
