From Willy's Candy Spectacular: A Musical Parody

Here's American comedian Riki Lindhome singing a track from the forthcoming Edinburgh Fringe show inspired by Glasgow's disastrous Willy Wonka experience.

The comic plays a character based on Kirsty Paterson – the actress who went viral as a bored, knock-off Oompa Loomah in the real-life fiasco.

Lindhome – best known for being half of comedy folk duo Garfunkel and Oates –  also wrote the track, I Coulda Gone to Law School.

She said: 'This song is for everyone who is, was, or has tried to be an actor. When I saw the look on Kirsty Paterson’s face, I just thought, ‘I’ve been there. We all have.'

Willy's Candy Spectacular: A Musical Parody is on at Pleasance Dome at 3pm from August 9 during the Edinburgh Fringe.
