And there is no limit on what she will put up with. <\/p>\n<p>I mean, this girl defends witch hunters. But with every step in the show, she gets closer and closer to realising her situation. <\/p>\n<p>She finally finds her people, a group of typical nice guys and all seems well. However, there is a folk-horror ending that people won\u2019t want to miss.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where did you get the idea to create this show and bring it to Edinburgh?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The show was born out of a really weird and painful time in my comedy career. <\/p>\n<p>This coincided with the very clear social shift in misogyny we are currently experiencing. I knew I could make a really fun, surreal show from it all. <\/p>\n<p>I wanted to bring it to Edinburgh because it really is the pinnacle for comedy and I know that Edinburgh audiences will love this show.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>How did you get your start in comedy? Do you find Fringe festivals inspiring?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I was a real comedy nerd when I was a child so from a young age I was just obsessed with working in comedy. <\/p>\n<p>As soon as I got to university I was looking for gigs and trying to get involved in the Manchester scene. <\/p>\n<p>I find Fringe festivals so inspiring! Seeing how much talent is out there, and the different ways people approach comedy is so exciting. <\/p>\n<p>Sometimes writing on your own, you can get a little in your own head and your thinking can get a little rigid. <\/p>\n<p>But being surrounded by other comedians and their work reminds you that there are so many possibilities.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are you looking forward to the most at Edinburgh?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I am really looking forward to seeing other shows. Living in the North, I don\u2019t get to see half of the comedy that happens in London. <\/p>\n<p>Going to the Fringe means being able to see everything and feel like you are more plugged into comedy in general. I also love seeing everyone. <\/p>\n<p>I have comedy friends all over the country and I love the Fringe for being able to hang out with people.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where can we see your work after Fringe?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I will absolutely be taking She-Devil on a tour, which I am so excited for. But I am also gigging all around the country so you will be able to see me in a stand up night near you! <\/p>\n<p>I also make comedy online, which I have lots of plans for post-Fringe, and which you can find on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/jain__edwards?igsh=MTNsdmoweXE2dTJlNQ==\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@jain_edwards?_t=ZN-8yNh6vzuOus&amp;_r=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TikTok<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\tLike this:<\/p>\n<p>Like Loading&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"sd-link-color\"\/>    <script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><script async src=\"\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jain Edwards isn\u2019t like other girls.
