About this show
Stars Twonketta: award-winning vaudevillian widow of the now deceased Mr Twonkey. Deadly sexy fairies are forcing the fairground to relocate to a swamp in Tallahassee. After a night out stealing doormats for the helter-skelter, we slip down a twisted path to the most dangerous, goddamn funny adventure in the history of all humanity. The creatures use hypnosis to push the custodians down a murderous path so they can reclaim the enchanted valley that was their home before the bulldozers came. 'Wonderlands of weird' * (Scotsman). 'Idiotic joy' * (NeuroDiverseReview.co.uk). 'Completely unexpected' * (One4Review.co.uk).

What the reviewers said
We have captured 2 published 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.
Another year and another mind-bending and dumbfounding trip into the world of Fringe institution Twonkey, once described as the Fringe’s very own comedy David Lynch* – an auteur genius whose works speak volumes, but…
Other than the closing line of one of Twonketta’s musical interludes, there was no ‘Soft’, ‘December’, ‘Night’ or ‘Tallahassee’. Of course there wasn’t. Welcome to the Twonkey-sphere. Or Twonko-verse.
