Baby Wants Candy

The Edinburgh Fringe Festival is one of the biggest arts fests of the world, as it takes over the Scottish city for nearly a month with countless performances. This mini-Fringe is produced by Tim Sauers, Overture Center’s chief artistic experiences officer; Overture is bringing in five top acts from the 2023 Fringe Festival: The Kinsey Sicks (7:30 p.m., Jan. 10), a drag “beautyshop” quartet; Brave Space, an all-woman circus troupe (1 and 3:30 p.m., Jan. 11-12); Shamilton (5 p.m., Jan. 11), a satirical musical whose subject you can probably guess; Baby Wants Candy (8 p.m., Jan. 11), a comedy/dance revue; and Chris Grace as Scarlett Johansson (2 p.m., Jan. 12) which combines an impersonation of the actress with the songs of Tom Waits. Fringe, indeed.
