Every August, the Edinburgh Fringe Festival bursts to life with an explosion of creativity, and few embody that spirit more than Fringe stalwart Thom Tuck. This year, Thom is involved in not one, but three distinct productions, each showcasing a different facet of his talent.

With original songs and plenty of sparkle, Miss Congeniality: The Unauthorised Musical Concert brings the beloved 2000 comedy hit film to life in a fresh, fast-paced retelling. If you don’t know already, the story follows FBI agent Gracie Hart—brilliant, blunt, and hilariously out of her depth—going undercover at a beauty pageant. The cast dive headfirst into the chaos with musical numbers that are as iconic and playful as the film itself.

Hello, I'm Ruth and I'm the Arts Business. We're here with Jen, who has been putting on Miss Congeniality over at the Annex Hall, is it? At Space Venues. So start with, tell us as briefly as possible what your show's about and why everyone should come and see it.

The Imperial College Dramatic Society (ICDS) has been staging bold, inventive theatre for over 100 years—proving that STEM students from one of the UK’s top universities know how to bring serious drama to the stage. With a legacy rooted in experimentation and creativity, ICDS continues to surprise audiences with productions that are as clever as they are compelling.

Step into the surreal, soulful, and side-splitting world of Sheepish—a genre-defying theatrical romp through identity, purpose, and, most importantly, the legacy of Dolly the Sheep.

The job of an actor always appears glamourous and cool to the outsider but there are few patrons of the industry who know the real story. The sad reality is that, even in these times of change driving towards equality, the mainstream arts industry in Britain is still orientated towards (for lack of a better description) white, thin, southern people.

June each year sees the celebration of pride month. All companies transform their logos into colourful rainbow as a tribute to allyship with the LGBTQ+ Rights movement. Of course there are always companies which push the boundaries of promotion and June 2020 saw Avanti West Coat launch a special carriage manned by LGBT+ staff proudly boasting the biggest pride flag seen on the side of a train and making a statement about the equality and inclusion. But is this enough?
