Amanda Knox, cleared of murdering her roommate Meredith Kercher in Italy in 2007, is performing a new show called Cartwheel at the Edinburgh fringe, using her experience of new motherhood as the framework for telling her story. The show, reviewed at Gilded Balloon Teviot, sees Knox make her debut as a standup, addressing years of public scrutiny and her determination not to let her daughter be shaped by fear or silence.

The Guardian's review describes Knox, now 39, weaving episodes from her "extremely prolonged and public trauma" into scenes of everyday parenting, including a dialogue with the voice of her four-year-old daughter and how to explain her wrongful imprisonment to her children. While the reviewer questions whether "comedy" is the right label given Knox's inexperience as a performer, they praise several well-judged jokes and find the show defiant yet respectful towards the memory of Kercher, calling it a fair attempt by Knox to reclaim her own story.
