Well-Balanced Dads | Edinburgh Fringe 26 | Britt Anderson & Richie Schiraldi

“Parenthood is a balancing act—but Dick and Dale take that literally.”At the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2026, Martin Colton is joined by Britt Anderson and returning guest Richie Schiraldi, the co-creators and performers behind *Well-Balanced Dads*.Dick and Dale are two suburban American dads, empty nesters and best friends embarking on a camping adventure in their trusty man-van. Expect dad jokes, questionable dance moves, snacks, partner acrobatics, macho movie references and some reassuringly unthreatening audience participation.Beneath the glorious silliness, this family-friendly physical comedy explores finding your inner child, navigating life after the children have left home, relationships with fathers and the pressures of hypermasculinity.In this conversation, Britt and Richie discuss creating the characters, developing a cabaret act into a full-length show and using physical theatre and circus to tell a story filled with laughter, heart and friendship.Richie previously joined *The Martin Talk Show* for Episode 553 to discuss *The Mothman Cometh*. This time, he returns alongside Britt for a conversation about a much brighter—but equally distinctive—side of Whisper Theatre Collective.🎭 SEE THE SHOW7–17 and 19–30 August 202616:30 | 60 minutesBraw Venues @ Hill Street – Alba, Venue 41Best suited for ages 8+Book tickets:https://www.edfringe.com/tickets/whats-on/well-balanced-dadsDiscover Whisper Theatre Collective:https://thewhispertheatre.wixsite.com/whisper/well-balanced-dadsFollow Whisper Theatre on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/whispertheatrecollective🎙️ Discover *The Martin Talk Show*:https://www.themartintalkshow.com▶️ Subscribe on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@MartinTalkShow🎧 Listen on Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/5wfvOukaochthhVFf9EMns🎧 Listen on Apple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/id1700080572📸 Follow on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/the_martin_talk_showAs always, connect with Martin via:https://www.themartintalkshow.com#WellBalancedDads #EdinburghFringe #AmplifyingChangemakers
