Hometown advantage in fringe is real. But have you ever thought about making Edinburgh your hometown, just so you can do fringe?!  This week we are joined by Courtney Bassett, a Kiwi based in Edinburgh, whose theatre company, Half Trick Theatre, moved there to make great art. We also dive into their zany shows and just a few of Courtney’s obsessions. And Lauren learns WTF is the proper way to pronounce “Call of Cthulhu.”
