The Edinburgh Fringe Show 2024 – Jazz Emu, Knight Fever

Archie Henderson joins me today. He’s the creative mind behind Jazz Emu, a flamboyant singer with illusions of grandeur, as Emu looks to climb the dizzying pole of stardom. The show at the Fringe is a brash mix of musical fun, intense moments, and the drive to succeed in front of royalty.

We talk about the influences of music and style behind Jazz Emu and how the audience interaction of a comic can apply to what is essentially a piece of musical theatre. How that changes depending on the venue Henderson and the full band are playing in, and why the Government’s lockdown campaign is a key part of Emu’s story.
