Dark Noise

2011: Juno never meant for it to happen. But amid the chaos of her first Edinburgh Fringe - and a thankless job working for up-and-coming performer, Daniel Dalgliesh - she falls in love: with comedy.

2016: Juno is back at the Fringe. But, while Daniel is now a household name, Juno is still toiling away in dead-end jobs and performing at patchy open-mic nights. When Daniel makes her his protégée, Juno must reckon with how far she'll go for success, and who she's willing to sacrifice.

2022: Juno has finally hit the big leagues. But even as her comedic star is rising, the past - and those who were hurt along the way - are starting to catch up with her. Perhaps the truth can't be drowned out, no matter how loud the applause.

Compulsive and haunting, Dark Noise is a page-turning story of betrayal and ambition, set within the dark underbelly of the stand-up world.
