Our Story
|
Katy Schutte and Edmund Fargher are the creatives behind Sideliners. They discovered one another through the London improvisation scene, worked on Katy's folk horror Let's Summon Demons and later discovered that they love to write together.
Katy and Ed are Londoners, telling a story set in London. They both grew up in the 80s and 90s and are still befuddled by how people date nowadays and even how we make new friends in the real world. They are both in long term relationships and are constantly living out the role of Sideliners in their own lives. |
