Amanda Knox is performing a stand-up comedy show at the Edinburgh Fringe titled “Cartwheel,” using her own experience related to the 2007 murder of British student Meredith Kercher. Sources describe the show as a one-woman performance that turns aspects of her legal ordeal into comedy as she tries to “reclaim” her story.

The appearances come nearly two decades after Kercher’s death and continue to draw public backlash. Several outlets report criticism from Kercher’s family, including accusations that the show trivializes violence against women, which Knox disputes. The Scotsman and other outlets note that a protest petition gains traction, while the festival has continued to back the decision to stage the performance. BBC News and ABC News also highlight Knox’s response to claims that her material minimizes the seriousness of Kercher’s death. Other coverage, including The New York Times and Euronews, frames the show as an attempt to address tabloid infamy through humor despite the controversy.
