These hilarious posters for fake Edinburgh Fringe acts are a little too believable
Stand-up comedian and Twitter essential, Joe Heenan, has a gift for creating plausible fakes. He’s Donald Trump’s worst nightmare, if you don’t count that one about the giant land shark with the face of Robert Mueller.

But now, with the Edinburgh Festival Fringe due to start next week, Joe has given us a collection of posters for imaginary Fringe performers and, frankly, he’s outdone himself in the realism stakes.

I think I've seen all of these under different names. Amazing. Brilliant. Dead inside. https://t.co/vLlzvLrxRt

And then there was this.

“Perhaps Joe’s posters should get a spot at the Fringe.” A punter.
