Lucky Maclean: Festival in the Bin

Don’t throw away the opportunity for a brand new festival experience.

A hilarious street cleaner sweeps you off on an outdoor journey into the unknown festival, uncovering its secrets and making an ingenious show out of rubbish with his extraordinary dustbin. Alive with variety and participation, this is a groundbreaking comedy performance/walking tour. So join Lucky and don’t throw away the opportunity for a brand new Fringe experience. 

A great little fringe experience that I can highly recommend.
