Extract from her Edinburgh show Tall Child

Holly Spillar contrasts her life with that of a baby born into privilege – with the aid of a loop pedal.

The track comes from the comedian’s Edinburgh Fringe show Tall Child, which is on at Underbelly Bristo Square at 5.45pm.

She tries to make ends meet by looking after young children, and her second track in this performance from Chortle’s Fast Fringe, recalled how she taught her charges to make  samosas… though they came out more like pasties.
