Pop quiz: Who first says "It's a trap!" in the original Star Wars trilogy?
Amanda Knox
@amandaknox.com
Exoneree, host of Hard Knox podcast, author of Free: My Search for Meaning. One woman comedy show, Cartwheel, at the Edinburgh Fringe Aug 7-17. www.amandaknox.substack.com
⭐⭐⭐⭐ for Cartwheel from Edfest magazine. "Amanda is an engaging performer whose self-awareness manages to bring levity to topics that are no laughing matter."
Sorry, hun, that's not not this works. You don't get to pop in with a long debunked false accusation used to vilify someone for decades, demand answers in all caps, get told politely you're wrong, then plead kindness, no further engagement. Maybe read the book you claim to have bought.
Two separate ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ reviews for Cartwheel in EdFringe Review. "Beautifully structured, this very ‘Cartwheel’ functions as an extended metaphor for the entirety of the show:
⭐⭐⭐⭐ for Cartwheel in Rialto Arts. "Perhaps the most surprising aspect of this show is how naturally gifted a comedian she is. Knox had sharp comic timing and is an impressive storyteller."
⭐⭐⭐⭐ for Cartwheel in the London Evening Standard. "Compelling and moving."
Cartwheel reviewed in The National: "Dealing with the trauma of her adult life through comedy could have gone down like a bucket of cold sick, but Knox, evidently a 'theatre kid,' manages to expertly walk the tightrope between harrowing and hilarious...
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ for Cartwheel from Instafest. "The most powerful and emotionally moving show at the Fringe."
20 years later, the misinformation (and resulting judgment) is so rampant and deep, and yet people wonder why I feel compelled to keep telling my story.
some people find it strange that you would shower in a blood-soaked bathroom but i don’t see how that’s a gendered thing
Four star review: Amanda Knox's Cartwheel ultimately leaves us with something more powerful than judgement: hope www.heraldscotland.com/life_style/2... @juliabraunraven.bsky.social @heraldscotland.bsky.social @amandaknox.com
So what’s the Amanda Knox Fringe show really like then?

I'm not even super into the comedy world but I can root hard for @amandaknox.com to hit big in it because after all that, what the hell is she supposed to do? AI startup?! If her sense of humor helped her survive a nearly unsurvivable situation she can probably help others to laugh at ourselves too
As a woman, the only thing harder than proving you're not a whore and a murderer is proving that you're funny.
@amandaknox.com tells & transforms her wrongful conviction: "Knox ... refused to let Britain’s tabloid press influence her choices. 'There is a defiant streak in me that’s like, you know what? I didn’t hurt anybody. I’m not at fault for what happened.’" Truth. @nytimes.com tinyurl.com/46hsuz8v
At Edinburgh Fringe, Amanda Knox Takes the Mic to Reclaim Her Story
In a solo show at the Edinburgh Fringe, Knox is trying to turn her tabloid infamy into stand-up humor, despite an intense backlash.

But is she funny?
Brilliant show by @amandaknox.com last night! Perhaps being billed as a "comedy show" gives the wrong impression, it *is* funny but also moving and sad at the same time. Kinda what I expected being familiar with her story, but I really enjoyed it. Anyway, I'm off to look at WikiFeet! 🦶
I'd be honored to be the subject of an @theonion.com article, but alas, this is true.
How am I only just finding out that Amanda Knox has an Edinburgh show? And how is this real and not a bit from The Onion?
Well, the entire run of my one-woman show at Fringe is sold out before I even get to Scotland. No pressure!
Vashon, my show at Snapdragon tonight was sold out, but we were able to fit a few more chairs in here! There's a handful of tickets I just added. Amandaknox.com See you soon!
Believe it or not, I watched Shawshank Redemption IN prison.
I wish you luck. Have you seen Shawshank Redemption? You should!! Pay attention to the scene with Andy as he locks himself in the office. He plays Mozart’s Sull’aria. I first heard it here. It’s now my fave aria from an opera. Your mind will soar.
Just released more last minute tickets to my show on Vashon for tonight and tomorrow. If you weren't able to get tickets, check my website asap! amandaknox.com

“People have found astounding ways to be cruel and punishing towards me, in insane ways. They would love for me to fail. I am prepared for criticism. I’m speaking about personal things in Cartwheel: raising a daughter given my own history.” I interviewed @amandaknox.com for @thelistuk.bsky.social
