Blonde Fringe for Van Outen

STAGE AND TV star Denise van Outen is to make her Edinburgh Fringe debut in a new one-woman musical comedy show.

The former Chicago star will be performing songs by blonde artists including Doris Day and Madonna at the Underbelly's Pasture Cow Barn at the Reid Hall.

She said: "This will be the first time I've performed on the Fringe and I can't wait to be part of it."

Blondes has been written by Jackie Clune with accompaniment from Edinburgh-based musician and playwright Mike Moran.

Underbelly co-director Ed Bartlam said: "It's a real coup for Edinburgh."
