LACHLAN WERNER: VOICES OF EVIL: Comedy ventriloquist Lachlan Werner, releases his first Edinburgh Fringe show as a YouTube special, In the cartoonish hour we meet Brew (a small squishy, ego-centric witch puppet) and her friend, Lachy (a ‘poof’, apparently a virgin and for some reason dressed like a choir boy). Brew hatches a plan to sacrifice Lachy, to help with his self-esteem. But when Brew’s gimmicks release a sinister entity with a lust for destruction, the innocent Lachy will never be the same… Werner says: 'I’m so excited we could immortalise my first show like this. The film really captures the liveness and chaos of this show that I had so much fun to tour for over two years.' Werner's YouTube channel is here.
