HOLE AGAIN It wouldn’t be Big Fat Bribe without someone sending us something questionable. There we were, innocently beavering away (foreshadowing) getting ready for the busiest time of the year, when the postman drops a latex vagina into our laps. Who would send us such a thing, we hear you cry? Turns out, the folks from In Utero would – a show about a couple who just want to have a family, but things go wrong. We forgive you. ■ In Utero, thespace at Surgeons Hall, 3.10pm, until 27 Aug (not 14, 21), £8–£10 (£7–£9).
If you want to send us something equally strange enough to get featured here, pop it in a box to Big Fat Bribe, The List, 14 High Street, Edinburgh, EH1 1TE
