I am taking my first show over to the Edinburgh Fringe this year in August, My Banjo's Name is Steven. Taking a show over to Edinburgh is very expensive. There's the flights, accommodation, venue hire and living costs. In total, the whole experience will cost me between $10,000 - $15,000. But you've got to be in it to win it! I love performing more than anything and I think this is the right time to take my little show and my banjo Steven out into the world. You never know what might happen. Amy Bennett is coming too, of course.
I am hoping my friends, family and supporters will help me cover the cost of my venue hire in Edinburgh which is approximately AU$3000. I'm organising a gig to raise some of this money but you might like to contribute in another way if you can't make it along.
My Banjo's Name is Steven is my third show. Here is the blurb.
Named by the Sydney Morning Herald as one of Australia's fastest rising comedy stars, Anne Edmonds (Best Emerging Comedy nominee, Adelaide Fringe) makes her fringe debut with a show full of charm, music and the occasional yarn. This show sold out during the Melbourne Fringe and Melbourne International Comedy Festival so get in fast.
Accompanied by Amy Bennett.

“...a relative newcomer who has carved out an utterly distinctive corner of off-kilter comedy” – The Sunday Age
