Comedians Nick Helm, James Acaster, Nish Kumar and Marcus Brigstocke are among the performers appearing in a new unrehearsed show about heterosexual female sexuality at the Edinburgh Fringe.

Manwatching is described as "a funny, frank, and occasionally explicit insight into heterosexual female desire, read out loud by a man."

Each show begins with a male comedian being given a previously unseen script, which explores what one woman thinks about when she thinks about sex and men. They then go onstage to read the script for the first time live in front of an audience.

Manwatching is a work-in-progress being piloted at the Edinburgh Fringe, with direction and dramaturgy by Royal Court Theatre Associate Director Lucy Morrison and dramaturgical input from Ryan Nobel, Lisa Heledd Jones and Christopher Brett Bailey.

It is written by an anonymous female writer, whose work "includes a lot of stuff that can’t be disclosed as she chooses to remain anonymous".

Manwatching is at Roundabout @ Summerhall from Aug 10 - 21. Tickets here.
