Actor and writer Megan Tomei will make her Edinburgh Festival Fringe debut this summer with the UK premiere of her darkly comic one-woman show SpinQueen at Jade Studio at Greenside from Friday 7 to Saturday 29 August. Physically relentless, brutally funny and surprisingly moving, SpinQueen is theatre felt in every muscle, a show that will leave audiences questioning how far we go to keep up, and what it really takes to stop.

Trapped on a stationary spin bike she can't unclip from, a woman pedals through her need to please, her addictions and her eating disorder. A standard fitness class quickly spirals into a confession, a confrontation, and a bloody reckoning with body, mind and self.

After a violent, sleepless night with her abusive boyfriend, Meg has to go back to work at her spin studio like nothing happened. It doesn't take long for her to spiral into a manic breakdown as she realises her version of self-care is actually brutal self-destruction. Throughout this absurd one-woman show, Meg discovers that the only thing more exhausting than the workout is running from herself.

Directed by Jennesy Herrera, SpinQueen blends satire, physical intensity and direct audience engagement to examine the culture of self-optimisation and the pressure placed on women to be disciplined, desirable, and emotionally contained at all times. It lands in a cultural moment where those pressures are intensifying and self-care is increasingly distorted into a performance of perfection.

SpinQueen was created between late 2025 and early 2026. It arrived at a moment of personal and creative convergence for Tomei. After years navigating a long-running eating disorder and escaping an abusive relationship, she began to recognise how deeply performance, control and physical endurance had shaped her understanding of self-worth. SpinQueen is the result of that reckoning.
