Chloe Petts was planning to premiere her first full-length show in Edinburgh in the summer of 2020, but we know what happened there. This gave the Kent-born comedian, who was already making waves on the stand-up circuit, two extra years to work on Transience, so it is maybe no surprise that it is one of the most accomplished debuts I’ve ever seen at the Edinburgh Fringe.
It is a classic “this-is-me” introduction to a new performer, with Petts eloquently explaining who she is and how she got here. Integral to this she talks about gender, a hot topic at the Fringe, in an accessible, calm – and very funny – way.
