Fringe Comedy captures a remarkable moment from November 1964 at Edinburgh's Traverse Theatre Club, where Slim Aarons photographed the cast of 'You'll Come to Love Your Sperm Test' during the height of experimental theatre. The play, penned by John Antrobus, embodied the off-beat theatrical humor that defined the era's creative rebellion. The cast members gather with an energy that speaks to the audacious spirit of 1960s fringe theatre, their expressions and poses revealing the uninhibited creativity that made this movement legendary. This photograph freezes a moment when British theatre was breaking every convention, and the Traverse Theatre Club stood at the epicenter of that cultural revolution.

Q: Prints are listed in cm and inches - what size will I receive?
We produce prints in both metric (cm) and imperial (inches) sizes. The sizing format depends on the product type and your delivery location. In almost all cases, the difference between metric and imperial conversions is only a few millimetres.

Q: How does the border affect the size of the print?
The total size of the print always matches the size you select. If you choose to add a border, it is included within that size and slightly reduces the image area.

Q: What are the dimensions if I order a framed print?
The size you select refers to the internal dimensions of the frame — the print size including any border. The frame moulding adds approximately an inch to each side, so the outer framed dimensions will be about 2 inches larger in both height and width.

Q: Are these limited-edition or numbered prints?
All prints are not produced in fixed or numbered editions. Each piece is made to order using archival pigment inks on museum-grade fine-art paper for exceptional clarity and longevity.
