Michael Kunze Makes Edinburgh Fringe Debut With INFINITY MIRROR

Award-winning comic performer, writer and director, Michael Kunze makes his eagerly anticipated Fringe solo debut as super-flawed Hollywood film superstar Mitch Coony in Infinity Mirror, a one-man sketch show directed by Lee Griffiths (credits including co-directing Lorenzo).

Mitch Coony knows what people say about him - that he's washed up, that he's bitter and that he's incredibly handsome and supremely talented - but does anyone know the man behind the myth? No. So, Mitch says it's time to set the record straight, to shoot from the hip, to get real and tell all. Where? In a no-holds-barred interview, of course!

Join Mitch as he traces the arc of his career from rags to riches and back again, taking in the cowboy spectacular, smash hit, off-Broadway show 'My Brother the Horse' and Oscar glory in the gritty reimagining of Snow White - 'Ah-choo: The Sneezy Story' - to the low moments like 'Jeffrey Dahmer the Musical!' Along the way, with the help of sketches, songs and top-notch nonsense, Mitch drops names, drops his guard, and drops the ball again and again in his quest for fame.

Infinity Mirror is a cautionary tale about celebrity, failure and a man who sold his soul for fame and found it wasn't worth much to begin with. The upside? "You're only ever one smash hit away from a Tom Hanks sex party!"

Infinity Mirror runs at Underbelly (Cowgate) 1 - 25 Aug (not 12) @ 12:55 pm - tickets available here.
