About this show
Lara Ciulli (Best Newcomer nominee, Chortle Awards 2026) and Riana White (not) are Those People: two struggling best mates, determined to make important "art" but not sure how? Instead watch them cliff-dive, naked, into a joyfully absurd hour of clowning, chair-duets and uncompromising vulnerability. A riotous, painfully stupid (and pretty gay) spectacle of two lov- friends. Just friends.

What the reviewers said
We have captured 3 published reviews and 37 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.
Constantly reiterating that the two protagonists are ‘just friends’, this roaring and delightfully queer two-hander pokes fun at the murky boundaries between friendship and romance.
— The List (4 out of 5 stars)
In this fresh Edinburgh Fringe debut, Lara Ciulli and Riana White deliver a multilayered performance of physical comedy and clowning, to navigate a story of one queer female friendship in all its chaotic glory.
— The Student (4 out of 5 stars)
Uproariously funny, and has an ending that will leave you wanting to run into the arms of your best friend and tell them you love them. Platonically, of course.
