  • Laura Lexx: Trying
    Edinburgh Fringe 2018: Comedy Andrew Roach Talent Presents Laura Lexx: Trying The Turret, Gilded Balloon Teviot 3 - 26 August (not 15) @ 17:15 ‘Real comedic steel’ The Guardian ‘One can only hope there’s some life-altering catastrophe around the corner for Laura Lexx.’ So said one Fringe reviewer in 2015. Luckily, the award-winning comedian with ‘superb material, brilliant delivery and irre- sistible personality’, (**** TV Bomb), has had a breakdown! Yay! Recently, Laura has been busy hosting on BBC Radio 4 Extra’s Comedy Club, win- ning the UK Comedy Award and being nominated for a Chortle Award for the third time. However, for most of 2017 Laura was trying to get through therapy, trying the patience of everyone, and trying unsuccessfully for a baby. Given all that, Laura wasn’t at the Edinburgh Fringe last year - instead she was in a tent in France with two small children and her mother looking for answers. This year she’s back in Scotland with considerably more jokes than answers. She’s done trying now; it’s time to laugh. ‘One of the most delightful performers you’re ever likely to see’ GQ Laura Lexx is an award-winning comedian and writer. She won Best MC at the 2017 UK Comedy Awards and was nominated for Best Compere in the 2016, 2017 and 2018 Chortle Comedy Awards. She also was a finalist for the Amused Moose Com- edy Award, Paramount Student Comedy Award, Chortle Student Comedy Award and Funny Women Award. Laura has gigged at comedy clubs and festivals all over the UK and in Europe, as well as supporting Jason Manford, Tim Vine and Russell Kane on tour.

    Highlights of Available Works TJ Ahearn Good Times Bad Times (Rolling Stones), 2018 Hand cut collage on vintage LP jacket with original vinyl 21 x 21 inches Framed Courtesy of the artist and lemon sky: projects + editions TJ Ahearn’s collages are created through a meticulous application of hand-cut imagery from both vintage and contemporary periodicals, books and other printed matter, which is glued onto the back of LP jackets. Most of the albums used date back to the 60s and 70s, and the original vinyl is included with the collaged piece. Ahearn creates imaginary environments through the inventive layering and juxtaposition of both banal and pop culture visual elements. The collages on view are from the artist's ongoing JUKEBOX series. TJ Ahearn lives and works between NYC and Miami. Ahearn attended School of Visual Arts in New York as well as both the University of Miami BFA Program and Miami Dade South Campus Fine Arts Program and Psychopolis Academy in the Netherlands.
