Shetland’s award‑winning performer Marjolein brings an unforgettable hour of stand‑up and folktales, blending sharp comedy with spellbinding storytelling. Nominated for Channel 4’s Sean Lock Comedy Award and The Sir Billy Connolly Spirit of Glasgow Award, Marjolein expertly weaves comedy and folklore to share her own personal stories.

Officially ranked one of the best-reviewed Fringe shows of its year, this is a show about the body and a health condition which, left unspoken about for years, was almost fatal. Not for the faint hearted, with nine audience members fainting and another eighteen walkouts during its Edinburgh Fringe run. However this is not gore for gore’s sake. This show has the potential to save lives. Also: JOKES.
