As part as our Edinburgh Fringe 2024 coverage we are running a series of interviews with artists and creatives that are taking part in the festival.
In this interview we speak with actor Dylan Corbett-Bader about REVENGE: After The Levoyah.
Where did your arts career begin?
With a James and the giant peach monologue when I was eight. Haven’t stopped since.
Expect a fast-paced ragtag comedy heist led by East End gangster Malcom Spivak; who co-opts the two leads Lauren and Dan into kidnapping the then-Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn; Oh, there's a dead, anti-semitic plumber too.
What can you tell me about your show?

How would you describe the style of the show?
A lightning quick comic two hander!
It’s been an incredibly collaborative process. Two years ago, this began as a piece that ran at 20 minutes. Nick Cassenbaum is a genius, I love his writing so much. The team is a joy to work with.
I’m luckily surrounded by the best team, so trusting the process and upping my alcohol tolerance should do it.
Meeting new creatives! A city full of em, gotta be a few decent ones knocking around. Right?
Honestly, my girlfriend and my mates. I’m surrounded by some pretty special people. They always keep me inspired.
Ultimately I hope it makes people ask questions. A lot of theatre just reaffirms what people already believe to be true. Maybe it’s good to be a bit uncomfortable?
At the Summerhall Anatomy Lecture Theatre, 1-26 August, 15:00 pm sharp!

How do/will you prepare yourself for a run at the Fringe?

What do you hope an audience takes away from seeing the show?
