Saw the incredible @AMancAnthem yesterday, took friends of mine and they were blown away too. Nail biting! Great start to our fringe weekend! You can’t go cause it’s finished it’s run but I’m pretty sure it’s going to return somewhere soon! Love and power to @rlyle96 🎭

[Caiti H @caitiho]

Wow. Mighty. @AMancAnthem at #edfringe - nabbed a last minute ticket at a deservedly 5star, sellout show. Tight, pacy writing that doesn't drop a beat and a stunning, visceral and charismatic performance from it's solo protagonist. Important, inspiring & powerful storytelling.

[Hannah Paylor @Hannah_Paylor]

Saw four sold out #EdFringe shows yest but the one I'm still thinking about is @AMancAnthem - a tale of class identity & finding your place in the world when you feel like you don’t fit in.

Huge congrats to all involved. Hope to see this touring the North one day soon. 🤞🐝

Enjoyed @AMancAnthem at #Edfringe2023 yesterday ☺️

N-joi's Anthem featured whilst Tommy took us on a one man performance with his final night out in Manchester before having to deal with what the world's gonna hit him with before an emotional ending 🎶

Well done everyone ☺️👏

[A Manchester Anthem @AMancAnthem]

@AMancAnthem A Manchester Anthem! Beautiful one man show, the kind of honest storytelling about class and family trauma, subtle when necessary but hits hard. Excellent uses of music and one great set change, and anchored by a wonderful lead performance. Stunning cathartic ending

[Ros McMullen @RosMcM]

Travelling home from #EdFringe2023. In case you’re going up for the final weekend my top three recommendations are @AMancAnthem @DavidAlnwick #Necromancer and #TheBlackBluesBrothers. Oh and @mattforde of course!

A true standout - @AMancAnthem.
Punchy & dynamic storytelling, visceral performance, great staging. Incredible tunes that can help us connect the dots between life's challenges & milestones. An important story, go and see it whenever you get a chance! (2/..)

[Ros McMullen @RosMcM]

What incredible writing and amazing performance @AMancAnthem #EdFringe2023

[Lotty Holder @cah_creative]

🧵As I head home from my little trip to @edfringe this year here are my top picks ✨

• @AMancAnthem @ThePleasance cracking acting, banging tunes!
• @painesplough Strategic Love Play, super funny, gorgeous relationship politics

[Adam James @adjjames057]

7 hour journey to the fringe but @AMancAnthem made it worth it. A total knockout. An energetic, loving ode to Manchester, mates and mums. Texted mine after to remind her she’s ace.
