Anna Hale: Control Freak
Show type: Edinburgh Fringe 2025
Introducing Anna Hale: comedian, singer-songwriter, control freak. She's written the jokes, the music and the lyrics. She's rigged the lights and sold the tickets. But what happens to a control freak when her world is out of control? Anna's a socially anxious extrovert and a perfectionist with sixty minutes to solve all her problems. The real challenge is doing it without letting anyone else have a go. Featuring hilarious original songs, 'natural charisma' (BeyondTheJoke.co.uk), and 'undeniable vocal pyrotechnics' (Chortle.co.uk), Control Freak is the debut show from the 2024 Musical Comedy Awards Audience Favourite.

Control freakery? It’s not the worst personality trait you could have.
