Krystal Evans is a USA comedian who lives in Edinburgh.

Sophie Zucker is bringing her one woman comedy musical show about love death and incest.

In light of much heated online discourse – who is allowed to tell Jewish stories; who’s allowed to represent Jewish characters – the show is both a relevant subject of these debates and a commentary on them.
