Amanda Knox's debut Edinburgh Fringe show has opened to mixed reactions, with critics describing it as "sincere" and "painfully unfunny".
The show, ****** led Cartwheel, arrived at the festival as one of this year's most talked‑about productions, attracting criticism from Meredith Kercher's sister ahead of its first performance.
Knox, from the US, was convicted and later acquitted of murdering British student Kercher in Italy in 2007.
Early reviews suggest the show, which Kercher told the BBC focuses on "how the world is unsafe and unfair towards women," is more of a personal, one‑woman piece than conventional stand‑up.
The Guardian awarded it four stars, praising its "spirit of defiance", while The Times only gave it two stars, calling the show "sincere" but "stilted".
