Welcome to Upstate Wherever, USA. Way back in the year two-thousand-who-cares, Kyle and Andy were more than friends, dammit – they were bandmates! But the real Kyle McCarren was a complicated dude. Well, an asshole. Worst of all, he's dead – and he won't let Andy forget it. Sometimes the easiest way to tell people about a buddy of yours is to write a show. In this musical-meets-live concert séance that's equal parts Bo Burnham and Tick, Tick... Boom!, you're invited to meet the legend himself.
This is an archived listing from the 2026 Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The Real Kyle McCarren is by Avalon, listed under Musicals and Opera in the Fringe programme. It plays at Pleasance Courtyard, 60 Pleasance, EH8 9TJ, 5 August to 30 August.
The show runs 75 minutes and is suitable for ages 14+. Tickets from £10.
