(No) Refunds | Edinburgh Fringe 26 | Katy Murphy | Episode 573

How much does it really cost to become a star?In Episode 573 of The Martin Talk Show, Martin Colton is joined by New York-based writer and performer Katy Murphy, creator of the interactive Edinburgh Fringe show (No) Refunds.Hosted by Katy’s dazzling alter ego Tiffany Gold, (No) Refunds transforms the theatre into an unpredictable game show. One premium ticket holder becomes the evening’s “Star Player” and competes in three challenges for the chance to win back the price of their ticket.Behind the glitter, games and perfectly choreographed chaos lies a deeper conversation about the real cost of being a working artist. Martin and Katy discuss the creation of this unique production, the relationship between performer and audience and the blurred line between theatre and reality.What is scripted? What is improvised? What is planned—and can anyone really earn a refund?Recorded as part of The Martin Talk Show’s Edinburgh Fringe 2026 series—amplifying the artists and changemakers behind the festival.See (No) Refunds at the Edinburgh Fringe:5–31 August 2026, excluding 18 August9:40pm | The Penny, Gilded Balloon Patter Househttps://www.edfringe.com/tickets/whats-on/no-refundsDiscover more about Katy Murphy and the show:https://www.katy-murphy.com/no-refundsFollow (No) Refunds:https://www.instagram.com/norefundsplay/Join the conversation:https://www.themartintalkshow.com/Subscribe for more interviews, reviews and stories from the Edinburgh Fringe.#TheMartinTalkShow #AmplifyingChangemakers #EdinburghFringe #EdFringe2026 #NoRefunds #KatyMurphy #TiffanyGold #InteractiveTheatre #ImmersiveTheatre
