You will cry at Crying Contralto. And that's kind of the point. Fringe Fan OG was at the Islington Barracks Hotel to see this show yesterday and there's one more chance to see it this afternoon at 1pm.

Alison Eaton invites the audience into a space that feels raw, honest and deeply human.
This isn't a comedy crying show - it's about connection. About recognising yourself in the ache, and realising you're not alone in it.

The vocals? Absolutely stunning.
Moving between jazz, musical theatre and vintage pop, Eaton's contralto is rich, warm and completely captivating.

It's gentle, thoughtful, and lingers with you long after the final note.
A quiet kind of Fringe magic.

Last chance today!
