Where: The Edinburgh Festival, 2000
Venue: Gilded Balloon's Peppermint Lounge
August 14th to the 28th at 10:15pm

When Lynn and Karen met at last year's festival, they had decided to swap lives, having had enough of their own. After knowing each other for a year, they decided that there's no way they would swap with each other. They found that they are the same woman with different accents. As Edinburgh approaches, the swapping season is upon us. So will they swap with each other as promised or…? Come to the show to find out.

This is The not to be missed comedy show at this year's festival. Expect the unexpected with this dynamic dup. They are a comedy powerhouse that keeps the crowds rolling every time.

Lynn Ferguson can presently be heard as the voice of Mac, the Scottish chicken in this summer's animated blockbuster, "Chicken Run", alongside Mel Gibson. Lynn is a festival favorite, having won several awards for both her writing and her acting in previous festivals. Her solo, "Heart and Sole" was made into a movie. Her other solo Mac was a hit both in Edinburgh and Melbourne's Comedy Festival. Her sitcom, "Millport" was a hit on the UK airwaves this past spring. American audiences know her brother Craig from "The Drew Carey Show".

Karen Loftus' previous show, "It's a Man's, Man's, Man's, Man's World", was a hit in Edinburgh after a successful tour of the States. The show was awarded The Critic's Choice by the London Times. She was the first recipient ever to receive A Tennessee Williams Fellowship, granted to her for the development of her solo piece, "I'm Not the Blonde You Think I Am". "Blonde" is currently being developed into a book. Karen is an international comedian working in The States, Europe and The Middle East. She can be seen this fall in the indie film, "Race To Love".
