@theoliviamcleod@jamesbarrcomedy@xhloeandnatasha@SoozUK@ShappiKhorsandi@jasminesthien @PopplewellLulu 22. BODY COUNT by Issy Knowles. Hoooooly crap. Was not prepared for how much of a gut-puncher this piece (taking inspiration from the exploits of various Onlyfans notables) would be. Cuttingly accurate about sex and gender, frequently brutal, and unlike any performance I've seen.
We are pleased to hear about the Brit List 2022 alum, Issy Knowles's new Edinburgh fringe show - Body Count. Body Count previews at the Seven Dials Playhouse in Covent Garden on July 18-19 and Pleasance Courtyard in Edinburgh from July 30 to August 25. #theBritList#WritingAwards
EXCLUSIVE: The backlash to the women who have turned sex into a competitive sport has inspired a controversial play premiering at the Edinburgh Fringe

Writer Issy Knowles announced she is writing a new play inspired by OnlyFans models Lily Phillips and Bonnie Blue's viral sex challenges, where they documented themselves sleeping with hundreds of men in a day. https://t.co/X74LRF2CPU
Dropping the 👅💦🍌BODY COUNT 👅💦🍌 poster soon… But in the meantime, please enjoy a selection of my favourite things people have said when I’ve told them about my upcoming play! #edfringe#edinburghfringe#daretodiscover#fringetheatre
After seven fulfilling years of writing scripts that now sit on the laptops of producers across London, writer/performer Issy Knowles returns to the Edinburgh Fringe with 👅💦🍌 BODY COUNT 👅💦🍌 #edfringe#edinburghfringe#daretodiscover#newwriting
I only hope more follow their path and give new writing and writers a chance. It was such an honour for us to perform Model Behaviour at the Pleasance, and I can’t wait to catch some of the rest of their #YouWillKnowTheirNames season !
Massive thanks to @ThePleasance for having the balls to put on such a courageous season and including MB as part of that! A season full of plays by unknown writers is no small fete, and an incredibly brave thing for such a prestigious theatre to do 1/2
