Want to quote every single word of this wonderful review of @WesPeden @gandinijuggling #Rollercoaster from @BustingFree @CircusDiaries probably best to read it and remember her final words 'best not to miss out'

[Martha Oakes PR @marthaoakespr]

Love that #Rollercoaster was the reason #KateKavanagh @BustingFree took a last minute to decision to come to @edfringe this year. We have a lot to thank the show for!

[Dr Katharine Kavanagh @BustingFree]

This is also at #EdFringe and comes highly recommended as a potential contender for the erstwhile @TotalTheatreNet Circus Award

It was my daughter's 11th birthday today. We went bowling, followed by desserts with her 3 best friends. A reminder that this photo represents what the UK is like for her and her friends, despite what the haters may want you to believe.

And also @Machinedecirque #GhostLight. Double win. Honourable mention to @WesPeden #Rollercoaster. Could sly in to a triple.

Can I put it out there that if #totaltheatreawards were running this year, #tweedysmassivecircus would (should!) win the circus category #EdFringe

Is it me, or have the #EdFringe offerings got a marked surreal streak this year?

Inspiring contributions from all today's workshop participants ✨️ (And nice to hear in the feedback that they want more - maybe this will need to become a series...?)

[Dr Katharine Kavanagh @BustingFree]

Well this happened! 🤪
