Knox was falsely imprisoned for the 2007 murder of Meredith Kercher in Italy and was later cleared by the country’s Supreme Court in 2015. Kercher's sister, Stephanie, had urged the show's removal, claiming it “normalises and trivialises violence against women”, and a petition was signed by over 6,000 people. Audience members on opening night described Cartwheel as “respectful”, “powerful”, and “genuinely funny”, noting its focus on storytelling rather than traditional stand-up comedy. Knox said that the show is about raising a daughter and honouring Kercher's memory.In fullAudience gives verdict on Amanda Knox’s controversial Edinburgh Fringe comedy showMore bulletinsThank you for registeringPlease refresh the page or navigate to another page on the site to be automatically logged inPlease refresh your browser to be logged in
