Who Are We?
We are the Duncomblé Ensemblé - a group of seven mates from different backgrounds, who all met in London at different stages of their life.
Collectively, we are bringing Kings On Thrones to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2025 - a new piece of comedy theatre that we are extremely excited to present to an international audience in Edinburgh this year!
About Our Show
Seven men are trapped in toilet cubicles within purgatory. Will this punishment prepare their souls for the afterlife? Struggling with their unresolved sins, they anonymously share their frustrations and desires experiencing conflict, reflection and confession.
Each man is challenged by the contrasting personalities that are also trapped. On top of the absurdity, this new comedy concentrates on deep themes of male health and existential reflection, challenging the view of male tropes in the modern age.
Kings on Thrones is an absurd comedy that seeks to shine a light on male health. As a group, we passionately feel this is an issue that affects so many people, yet still has stigmatism surrounding it.
Why We Need Your Help
Taking a show to the Edinburgh Fringe is an exciting but costly endeavour. We are dedicated to making this project a reality, but we need financial support to cover essential costs, including:
- Venue Hire – Ensuring we have a professional and accessible performance space.
- Marketing & Promotion – Helping us reach the widest audience possible.
- Production Costs – Covering set, costume, props, and technical elements.
Despite putting our own money towards this project, we need the support of our community to make Kings on Thrones the success it deserves to be.
