Kristen Schaal: The Legend Of Crystal Shell

The US comic returns to the Fringe with an extremely strange sounding play

Time Out says

Sublimely quirky US comic Schaal hasn’t played the Fringe in years, probably because she’s been incredibly busy with a voiceover career that’s taken in major roles in Bob’s Burgers, Gravity Falls and Bojack Horseman (plus many more). She’s not exactly sticking around for long this year. But rather than straight stand up we seem to be getting an entire comedy play, starring Schaal and John Roberts (also of Bob’s Burgers). Exactly what The Legend Of Crystal Shell involves seems extremely ambigious: some descriptions say it’s about centaurs, but the current official Fringe blurb merely says it’s ‘about an extraordinary soul who has been hiding from the world because of a fantastic secret’. It’s very possible she’s a centaur… you’ll have to wait and find out.
