Fake It 'Til You Make It

Bryony Kimmings

Six months into their relationship, Bryony found out that Tim suffered from severe clinical depression. This was a secret Tim had kept for a very long time. Fake It ’Til You Make It is Edinburgh Fringe First-winner Bryony Kimmings’ new work about clinical depression and men, made in collaboration with her partner Tim, who works in advertising. A wickedly warming, brutally honest and powerfully heart breaking show about the wonders of the human brain, being in love and what it takes to be a ‘real man’. Includes forewords by James Leadbitter (the vacuum cleaner), Andy Field (Forest Fringe) and Georgie Harman (beyondblue).

Credible Likeable Superstar Role Model

Bryony Kimmings

In an audacious, provocative protest against flagrant global attempts to sexualise and commodify childhood for profit, award-winning artist Bryony Kimmings and her niece Taylor, nine, decided to play the global tween machine at its own game by inventing dinosaur-loving, bike-riding, tuna pasta-eating, alternative pop star Catherine Bennett. This show tackles the issues at the very core of their plight head on. In typically screwball and humorous fashion, Kimmings, creator of acclaimed shows Sex Idiot and 7 Day Drunk, begs the question, what does it really take to be a Credible Likeable Superstar Role Model for a child of the 21st century?WINNER: FRINGE FIRST AWARD 2013
