Edinburgh Fringe: 10 Questions With Bourgeois & Maurice

There are plenty of political comedians out there. And there are plenty of cabaret ones, too. But the fiendishly talented duo Bourgeois & Maurice combine the two - mixing social commentary with jokes, songs and amazing outfits.

Your best Edinburgh moment?
Discovering £4 Trifle-tinis (also known as French Martinis to more aspirational types) at the Gilded Balloon performers' bar in 2009. It’s like a dessert and a fine alcoholic beverage all in one.
And your worst?
Drinking too many £4 Trifle-tinis at the Gilded Balloon performers' bar in 2009, resulting in the total collapse of Maurice’s immune system. Our 2009 run ended with her going to A&E, being put on a drip for 24 hours, and three cancelled shows. Good times.
