About this show
You know when stuff happens to you and you react in a certain way (read: cry) so then you lean in? To know thyself? A man in a museum was mean to me (classic) and I’ve gotten a lot out of it (hell yeah). My stupidest and smartest show yet (alright!). INKLING is a show about How to Salute to the Mystery of Being Alive (ok?). Might that be of intrigue...? To you? Big kisses to you and yours. Love, Lara. PS I am trying my best. Edinburgh Best Newcomer winner 2022. As seen on TV.

What the reviewers said
We have captured 7 published reviews and 18 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.
It’s clever: multi-layered, metaphorical and philosophically ambitious, while also being silly, rude and feisty.
— The List (4 out of 5 stars)
At the heart of INKLING’s success is Lara Ricote herself. For most of the hour she is practically vibrating with passion, jumping from one focus to the next, full of high spirits and opinions.
— The Student (5 out of 5 stars)
3.5 Stars This is thoughtful, inventive comedy from a performer with a distinctive perspective.
