Hello! Tell us about yourself?

An international improv team, each member from a different country. Come to our show and we will reveal more

Tell us all about your show!

Back for their second run! One Eyed Scouts present the premiere (and last ever performance) of a “movie” inspired by your suggestion. And then you’ll meet the “stars” and hear the juicy inside gossip and scandal from the set. Their unique two-part format will have you in stitches. Unmissable jaw-dropping action! Raw, harrowing emotion! Dramatic! Tragic! Hilarious! Usually seen online at One Eyed Scouts on Facebook, they meet in real life for only the second time to bring you the magic of the movies, live and improvised.

How did you come up with the name of your show that your taking to the fringe?

The name One Eyed Scouts comes from one of our early shows. There were some people practicing archery and an unfortunate Scout was roaming around in the vicinity. An eyepatch later and we had inspiration for our troupe name.

What other acts are you looking forward to seeing at the fringe?

Showstoppers improvised musical. Their shows are seamless and an inspiration

Have you done the fringe before? What are the key pieces of advice you have been given or would give to new groups or people performing at the fringe.

We were at the fringe last year. We found plenty of caffeine to be very useful. One member had a coffee and a pint of coke before each show

Talk us through your daily routine for a day at the Fringe

The daily routine tended to be: sleep most of the morning, get ready for our show and get the bus to the venue. After the show we would go for a late lunch, usually a curry, and the watch shows for the rest of the day or go to a ceilidh

What is the best way to enjoy yourself at the fringe?

See as much as you can and just enjoy being immersed in the creative bubble

Top tips for travelling around the Fringe and getting to shows on time?
