About This Event

Drew Lausch brings his solo show *Friendliest* to Teviot Row House on Wednesday 5 August as part of the Edinburgh Festival. Growing up gay in Fargo, North Dakota, the comedian responded by inventing the world’s first gay superhero — though years later, he is still trying to save himself. The performance blends sharp stand-up with raw storytelling, exploring first love, the weight of small-town repression, and the urge to rewrite your own origin story. Dark, funny and quietly devastating, it offers an intimate look at how a teenager’s creative impulse can shape an entire life. Tickets are available via the venue’s website.

The performance blends sharp stand-up with raw storytelling, exploring themes of first love, small-town repression, and the urge to rewrite one's own origin story. Drew Lausch's show is a deeply personal and relatable account of growing up gay in a conservative environment.

Drew Lausch will be performing his solo show, with Jenny Leon directing. The show is written and performed by Lausch, who brings his unique perspective and experience to the stage.

The show will take place at Teviot Row House on Wednesday 5 August. Tickets are available via the venue's website, but it's recommended to check the website for further information on timings and what's included in the ticket price.
