Fragments [2026]
Show type: Edinburgh Fringe 2026
Dark humour hides dark secrets. Martin has always tried to deflect things with laughter (he’s even trying to make his therapist laugh). But behind the jokes there’s a frightened young boy hiding from the horrors he’s facing. This autobiographical dark comedy explores what happens when the laughter stops and you’re forced to explore the darkness that shaped you. Can Martin face his past? Nominated for an Impact Award at Reykjavik Fringe 2025. 'A deeply moving piece of personal theatre' (Richard Gadd, Baby Reindeer). 'Genuinely heartfelt' (AllEdinburghTheatre.com). Writer and performer Martin Bearne has appeared on BBC Scotland.
