More information about Caitlin Cook: The Writing on the Stall tickets
The Writing on the Stall, Caitlin Cook’s hit bathroom graffiti musical, has quickly become a comedic, musical, and theatrical sensation, selling out several Off-Broadway runs, national tours, and most recently, the Edinburgh Fringe. Confessional, immersive, and uproariously funny, this one-of-a-kind show—literally set in a dive bar bathroom—transforms graffiti scrawled all over the stalls into the lyrics of her original songs and trail markers along the journey she takes us upon. Through these irreverent, poignant, and often obscene messages, Cook reckons with our shared humanity and what we owe each other. May include: slingshotted panties, milk pistols, and a cowboy dick (complete, with spurs!) “The gold standard of musical comedy.” — New York Times “Hilarious, poignant, and is highly recommended.” — BroadwayWorld “She serenades the audience to rapturous laughter and applause” ★★★★★ — Three Weeks “A very entertaining and unique show” ★★★★★ — AYP “Beg, borrow, or steal a ticket” ★★★★★ — Edinburgh Fringe Travel Guide “A gem of a show.” (★★★★½) — One4Review “Delightfully irreverent, gleefully vulgar, slyly intellectual.” — TheaterMania “The writing, the songs, the performance, the comedy, the heart—this show has got it all in spades.” — Jo Firestone “Go see this show.” — Michael Che Sunday 8th June 2025 20:00 (60min) £18 Seating: Every ticket-holder gets a seat, so you can leave standing-up to our acts.
