Babyface

From award-winning writer and performer Nick Tipa (Kaai Tahu) comes Babyface: a solo play about big-time wrestling and small-town Aotearoa. Part stage play / part wrestling show, Babyface explores one boy's experience of growing up, fitting in and landing a suplex in rural Aotearoa. Debuting to a sold-out season at the 2025 Dunedin Fringe Festival, and taking home multiple awards, including the UNESCO City of Literature Beyond Words award, Whiplash and Kahu arrive in Edinburgh to lay the smack down. So paint your signs, put on your favourite wrestling t-shirt and let's get ready to rrrrrumble!
