Episode 126: Edinrburgh Fringe 2022 - Rosy Carrick

In the first of our episodes covering the 2022 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Louise talks to the incredible Rosy Carrick about her new show, Musclebound. Following her multi award-winning theatre debut, Passionate Machine, Rosy Carrick is back. When bodybuilders and 80s action films unite, you can always count on a good hard flogging! And, for a young Rosy, witnessing characters like He-Man and Conan being beaten and humiliated by their male antagonists sparked the most glorious erotic obsession of her life. Now 40, with a grown-up daughter of her own and a string of unfulfilling relationships behind her, Rosy is on a mission to rediscover her sexual power – but can tortured beefcake really be the key to her salvation? 'Intelligent, articulate, funny' (Scotsman). See Musclebound at Assembly Roxy (Downstairs) at 17:50 (1h) from 3-28 August (excl. 10, 16, 23).
