Potty the Plant resides in the office of Dr.Acula the blood clinic Doctor at Little Boo Boo’s General Hospital. Neglected by the Dr who claims to be his friend but doesn’t care. It is his true water-bearing friend the compassionate lovely Nurse Lacey, who saves Potty from his soil drying out and shows him lots of TLC.

We watch Dr Arcula pursue Nurse Lacey using his seductive charms! Although I think she is the only one fooled by him as he isn’t to be trusted. While the nursing team Mel, Steven and Dave appear to be running the ward. The song line “they don’t know what they are doing but they will do it anyway” doesn’t fill you with confidence.

Children are going missing at each blood clinic day run by Dr.Acula and the nursing team set out to catch the culprit with the (sort of) help from Potty.

The songs are catchy and entertaining, you will probably find yourself tapping along to them. The cast is strong and their great rapport on stage brings this “potty” storyline to life.

There is a platform waiting for Potty the Plant, maybe he could be the next Basil Brush! Who knows where Potty could reside next, “have pots will travel”.

Audiences often like something different at the Edinburgh Fringe and this ticks many boxes comedy, entertainment and fun. If you’re free at 6 pm check out Potty the Plant at the Gilded Balloon Patter Hoose. For more information on times, and dates and to book tickets please visit the link below.
