UPDATE:
To mark the fact that we're halfway through our Indiegogo campaign, we thought we'd give you folk a treat or two! Here, have a sneak peak at our poster design icon for Fanny Whittington or, for the more perk-minded among you, why not purchase our brand, shiny, new Annual Lashpass! This gives free entry for you and a friend/lover/acquaintance/enemy/stranger to all Lashings of Ginger Beer Time run shows for an entire year! Wow. That's an awesome perk. I am awed.
Thank you so much to everybody who's donated or publiced the campaign so far - it's hugely appreciated!
Who We Are
Lashings of Ginger Beer Time are a radical, queer, feminist burlesque collective. Our shows aim to provide a funny take on social justice issues, politics, pop culture and general geekery, through song, dance and sketches.
Following the success of our first panto, Cinderella, we want to take our brand-spanking-new pantomime, Fanny Whittington, all the way up to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival! That's right, folks. Soon, you will be able to enjoy all of Lashings' own brand of comedy, politics and malfunctioning props in panto form once more. Expect an emotional rollercoaster of highs and lows, tears and laughter, songs and silliness as we follow young Fanny and her pet rat, Basil, navigating their way through love, exploitation and possible puppetry.
What We Need & What You Get
But of course, magic such as this doesn't happen all on its own. We need wonderful people like you, our adoring fans and curious acquaintances, to help us.
We'll be lucky enough to be performing with the utterly delightful Gryphon Venues, but they, along with Fringe Guides, flyers, and other such treats require monetary recompense for their services. That's where you come in! We would greatly appreciate it if you would make a donation to turn Fanny Whittington into a reality.
Fortunately, besides the chance to see the show for yourselves, we have an array of tempting perks to offer, ranging from zines to DVDs to the highly-coveted 'Annual Lashpass'.
Other Ways You Can Help
If you can't donate but still want to make Fanny Whittington a reality, please, please spread the campaign around to your friends, family, aquantances, nemeses...anyone and everyone! In fact, please do this even if you can donate but still want to help us out even more!
