SIM Ep 136 Pod 45: Edinburgh Fringe Festival special

As the Edinburgh Fringe festival kicks off, we talk to five women about their shows.The super funny Jen Brister talks about Meaningless and raising sons (while living with her mother); rising star Sindhu Vee chats about her debut solo show Sandhog; Jane Hill tells us why she gave up alcohol and her show Addicted To Fun; and Kiri Pritchard-McLean looks at gaslighting in Victim, Complex. Plus, if you've ever wondered exactly how the improvised musical Showstopper! works, Ruth Bratt stops by with an explanation. Yes, we are spoiling you with brilliant women. You're welcome.
