JOAN - a Milk Presents production in association with Derby Theatre and Underbelly Untapped - which received a hugely popular preview at Derby Theatre last year, has scooped a tremendous triple of awards at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

Written and directed by Lucy J Skilbeck, and performed by Lucy Jane Parkinson aka LoUis CYfer, Drag Idol Champion 2014, JOAN hit the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in spectacular style this year and has taken it by storm by scooping three prestigious awards.

During its smash-hit festival run, JOAN was awarded the Scotsman Fringe First Award, an award to recognise and celebrate the best and most outstanding new work and writing on the Fringe; The Stage Edinburgh Award, awards which recognise outstanding performances; and The Mervyn Stutter Spirit of the Fringe Award, one of the Festival’s longest running awards whose previous winners include Ross Noble, Ed Byrne, The League of Gentlemen and Omid Djalili.
