Princess Sparkles

Edinburgh 2026

Step into the not-so-glittery world of Princess Sparkles, a professional princess-for-hire who’s very available, a teeny bit unstable and just that little bit too much. Appearing at five-year-old's birthday parties somewhere near you, she’s flustered, running late and it seems more than just her costume is coming apart at the seams. Lily Maryon’s debut show is an unhinged hour of character comedy with a theatrical twist, casting the audience in the role of the children as Sparkles fights to keep the party and herself together.
