Last Call Demo

Welcome to the 2014 World Boozing Championships! Doesn’t matter if you’re a regular drinker, a pitiful alcoholic or a hypocrite teetotaller, this invitation is for you! Come and see what happens when the most popular sports event in the world hits Edinburgh.

Written and directed by Mikko Räty & Juha Hippi Last Call is a darkly comic monologue looking at the affects of alcohol consumption in today’s society. Told through several characters including championship contestant Pete and his father the coach, as well as the Spirit of the Bottle.

Alcohol is an important part of the Finnish national psyche and economy and sits perfectly alongside national perceptions of Scottish drinking habits. Generations come… Generations Go… Alcohol stays with us forever!

Winning the Finnish National Monologue Competition in 2011 Last Call comes from Hippi’s own personal testament of giving up alcohol for the year 2010. After touring Finland for 3 years, Last Call was translated in English in March 2014. It was awarded From Start to Finnish grant to participate Edinburgh Fringe Festival as one of Finnish representatives.
