SLAB is going to Edinburgh Fringe and we need your support!

SLAB (Something Like A Brother) is a comedy duo consisting of best friends and sometimes nemeses Nathan Hatfield and Eryn Rafferty. From humble beginnings in Chicago as a college podcast exploring the trans experience and a love of comedy, SLAB has grown into a two-man 50-minute variety show bursting with character. Including sketches, puppets, and a few poorly choreographed but very earnest dance numbers.

For the past two years we’ve worked this show all over Chicago; The Lincoln Lodge, the Bughouse, The Annoyance, and more! But always with the hope to one day bring it to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. This August, with your help, we finally have that opportunity.

Who is SLAB?

Maddie Barr (producer/stage manager)

Born at a young age, Maddie has always had a passion for telling people what to do. She ran tech for one SLAB show once and it’s pretty much been game over since then. When she isn’t thinking SLAB, teching SLAB, or frantically scheduling SLAB shows, Maddie likes to bake, cry, and play video games.
