This Play Shouldn't Exist (and I Was Supposed to Be on Holiday)

Edinburgh 2026

Last year Tim Honnef received a box from an unknown sender. It contained an handwritten book, a pink flash drive and a firm but friendly threat. This is the tale of what happened next. It's also about a magnificent fish named Marcel the Elephant. A true story about unbelievable tales, told by someone who would never ever tell any bullshit himself. Promised. 'A magical journey into one of the most fascinating experimental theatrical minds at the Fringe' (BritishTheatreGuide.info). 'A marvellous invention with Fargo-like claim to truth-telling' (FringeReview.co.uk).

This is an archived listing from the 2026 Edinburgh Festival Fringe. This Play Shouldn't Exist (and I Was Supposed to Be on Holiday) is by Tim Honnef / Jonas Müller, listed under Theatre in the Fringe programme. It plays at Underbelly, Bristo Square, Teviot Place, EH8 9AG, 6 August to 28 August.

The show runs 60 minutes and is suitable for ages 14+. Tickets from £8.50.
