The Guilty Feminist brings its celebrated live podcast to the National Museum of Scotland on Thursday 20 August at 7.30pm, as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. This show seamlessly blends stand-up comedy, sketch, and panel discussion to explore modern feminism with a signature mix of self-deprecating humour and incisive political commentary. While past guests have included the likes of Annie Lennox, Gillian Anderson, and Desiree Burch, the line-up on the night is subject to change. The tone remains consistently warm and witty, never shying away from tackling serious subjects—such as the ongoing erosion of women’s rights—whilst ensuring the audience is kept thoroughly entertained and laughing throughout. Tickets can be purchased via the venue’s website.
