Amanda Knox's Cartwheel aims for heart over punchlines at the Fringe

Amanda Knox's Edinburgh Fringe show Cartwheel opens to mixed reviews, described as sincere and more a personal reflection on trauma and motherhood than traditional stand-up. Critics are divided: The Guardian praised its defiant spirit, while The Times and The Telegraph said it lacks comedic timing and needed better direction. The show has sparked controversy with Meredith Kercher's sister's concerns and a petition; Knox says the piece seeks to honestly tell her story to her future daughter, and it runs for 11 days at the Gilded Balloon Teviot.

Kercher Family Rebuffs Knox Edinburgh Fringe Act as Painful Reminder

Meredith Kercher’s sister tells CNN that Amanda Knox’s solo comedy show Cartwheel, opening at the Edinburgh Fringe and billed as honoring Kercher’s memory, is hurtful rather than funny for those who live with Kercher’s murder every day. The show has drawn petitions urging cancellation; Knox says the act uses humor to address the tragedy, while the venue defends free expression. Knox was convicted in 2009 and acquitted in 2015, and Kercher’s family says the pain of the case persists.

Knox defends Cartwheel at Edinburgh Fringe as tribute, not mockery

Amanda Knox says her Edinburgh Fringe show Cartwheel is a memorial that honors Meredith Kercher and denounces the violence she and Knox endured, amid criticism from Kercher’s sister and a petition to cancel. The show, promoted as a candid, furious take on being a near‑40 mother and a wrongful imprisonment survivor, debuts Friday for an 11‑night run at the festival.
