We are thrilled to announce that Joe Maggio will be premiering his one-man-show “The Brush” at the Edinburgh Fringe this August 6th - 31st in Edinburgh, Scotland.
Unfolding like the storytelling version of Russian nesting dolls, “The Brush” is an hour long comedic monologue which leaps about in time and traces the events leading up to the pulmonary embolism that nearly killed Maggio in May of 2019.
From the press release: We begin with a chance encounter: Maggio filling in for a sick sound recordist on Russell Howard’s American travel show. From this two-day shoot, a great professional and personal friendship blossoms, culminating in Maggio’s presence at Howard’s Las Vegas bachelor party, where he suffers the injury which will lead to his brush with death. A bittersweet, darkly humorous reflection on regret and failure, “The Brush” is at once confession, middle-aged rant, and a celebration of the everyday mysteries of the universe.
Hosted by Just the Tonic, the show runs from August 6th - 30th, 15:30-16:30, at The Mash House, 37 Guthrie Street, EH1 1JG.
