Liz Truss is speaking at the Edinburgh fringe and of all the fabulous comebacks this one surely said it best

Turns out it’s not all fun and games at the Edinburgh fringe this year – no, Liz Truss is there as well.

And jolly excited she is about it too, if this photo that she shared on Twitter is anything to go by.

At the #EdinburghFringe.

Looking forward to joining @MatthewStadlen for All Talk tomorrow at 1.30pm at @ThePleasance.@IainDale – get well soon pic.twitter.com/aQl9p2Tylf

Appearing on LBC’s All Talk podcast, presumably she’ll be trying out different material to the stuff she used at the Republican national convention in the US last month, but who’s to say?

And it prompted no end of fabulous comebacks as you might imagine …

Never has the hackneyed old power stance looked quite so much like you’ve wet yourself. https://t.co/Hr4TEmPjeV

Liz’s show, “I Can’t Stop Making A Fucking Prat Of Myself”, is on at The Unpleasance for the full run of 21 days, the second longest comedy show she has ever managed. Tickets £25 (equivalent to £1.50 pre-2022 prices.)
