NEW YORK, NY, May 20, 2022 – From Queens, New York and making their Edinburgh Fringe Festival debut at Roxy Central from August 3-28, The Queen’s Cartoonists (TQC) bring iconic cartoons to life. Pulling from over 100 years of animation, TQC’s performances are perfectly synchronized to the films projected on stage. Hailed by the Los Angeles Times as “a visual and aural treat,” the band matches the energy of the animations, leading the audience through a world of virtuosic musicianship, multi-instrumental mayhem, and comedy.

 

For their Fringe Festival debut, TQC partners with the award-winning animation studio, Aardman, to present film clips starring Wallace & Gromit and Shaun the Sheep in addition to featuring several famous classic cartoon characters from around the globe including America. Projections of animated films dazzle the audience, while the band re-creates original soundtracks note-for-note, or writes their own fresh compositions to modern pieces, all the while breathing new life into two uniquely American forms of art: jazz and animation. Tying everything together is the TQC brand of comedy – anecdotes about the cartoons and their composers, stream-of-consciousness humor, and elements of a musical circus .

 

This residency at Fringe Festival follows TQC’s sold-out run of performances at the prestigious Konzerthaus in Berlin and a notable performance at the Konzerthaus Dortmund in Austria during the fall of 2021.

 

Tickets to TQC’s performances at the Fringe Festival, ranging from £9.50 to £14.50 are available beginning May 5, and may be obtained by visiting Assembly. For more information, contact Joel Pierson at thequeenscartoonists@gmail.com.
