With their stand up routines they have performed on all big comedy stages in the German speaking part of Switzerland, including appearances on Swiss national television. In 2020 Edwin co-founded Criptonite alongside Nina Mühlemann. Criptonite is a queer-crip theatre project that uses the aesthetics of drag, pop-culture to create shows engaging with the topics of access, interdependence and bodily autonomy. They were also part of the cast for “Star Magnolia” and also worked on “Monsters vs Society” both at Theater Neumarkt.
In 2021 they joined the performance collective The New Urgency at Gessnerallee after performing “Hier! Tickets für die Revolution”. Edwins work focuses on empowerment, creating new worlds and a sense of togetherness, inspired by queer-feminist science fiction and fantasy with a focus on social justice.
