Edinburgh train to host Fringe performances onboard with drag, comedy and music

A train to Edinburgh will be hosting live Fringe performances, on an evening service from Newcastle.

The event comes as part of a collaboration between the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and Lumo ahead of the festival in a few months. On July 7, the after-work service will be packed with live entertainment in two of its carriages.

Hosted by drag queen Mutha Tucka, also onboard will be comedians Gavin Webster and Robert Reed as well as musician Joe Edwards. The return service from Edinburgh to Newcastle will offer passengers the chance for a musical sing-a-long dubbed ‘carriage-oke’.
