The Writing on the Stall

Calling the PEOPLE OF EDINBURGH:

Do you often find yourself reading the graffiti on bathroom walls?

Do you smile at the witty bon mots that adorn the stalls of the public toilets?

Well now is your chance to become part of an artistic project by comedian and songwriter Caitlin Cook!

Comedy infiltrates every corner of the city during the Fringe Festival – and bathroom walls are no exception!

Caitlin’s show The Writing on the Stall explores the humour, beauty and human nature behind the often ignored scrawls of strangers on the inside of the cubicle.

You might have seen her viral instagram videos turning crowdsourced graffiti into songs. 

The Writing on the Stall sold out its 2023 Off-Broadway debut and was a New York Times Critic’s Pick – the accompanying studio album has over 25M+ streams. 

The Writing on the Stall is coming to the Edinburgh Festival in August and Caitlin is calling on anyone with a keen eye for comedy, pathos, or witticisms to snap the best, funniest and most thought-provoking restroom scriptures they can find in public bathrooms across Edinburgh.

Those who think they’ve snapped a winning image should email the submissions to Caitlin at thewritingonthestallshow@gmail.com, or DM her at @TheCaitlinCook on instagram.

The best of the images will then be brought to life as Caitlin creates an original song exclusively using the images collated from the bathrooms of Edinburgh, and records and releases it on social media ahead of the show.

Those who contribute images which are chosen to be used in the song will also be offered free tickets to Caitlin’s show.

The Writing on the Stall will be on at Pleasance Dome, August 14th – 25th at 21:50
