this is an article from 2016Let’s Sell This Gig Out!
Michael Legge urges us to give each of these great comics a crowd surge. We’ll be at these shows at these times… come with us!
FRIDAY 19th
Alexander Bennett: Your Beloved Alexander Bennett
PBH”Cowgatehead, 19:30
@AlexyBennett
Very funny indeed. Very silly and satirical. Just bloody very good. So very go and very see him, or you’ll look very stupid. VERY stupid.
SATURDAY 20th
AAA Stand Up
Pleasance Courtyard, 19:15
@YwaynaMayne
@RobMullholland
@FallingHuman
You can’t do the Fringe without seeing one stand-up comedy package show. I recommend this one for Twayna Mayne alone. Don’t really know the other guys but she’s one of the best stand-ups I’ve seen in years.
SUNDAY 21st
Gavin Webster: Jesus Christ’s a Window Cleaner Now
The Stand 2, 19:10
@TheGavinWebster
I never miss any of Gavin’s shows and he’s never, ever anything less than brilliant. Treat yourself and see this show. Fuck knows you deserve it.
MONDAY 22nd
Laxy Susan: Crazy Sexy Fool
Pleasance Courtyard, 19:15
@ComedySusan
Brilliant sketch comedy from two very talented people. Plus they named their show (sort of) after one of my favourite albums. I think they might be really cool but I still like them.
TUESDAY 23rd
Will Duggan: A Man Gathering Fish
Pleasance Courtyard, 18:45
@WillDuggan
I’m really looking forward to Will’s debut hour. If Will is half as funny as he is in Phil Ellis’ Funz N’ Games, then I suppose that’ll be fine.
WEDNESDAY 24th
Daphne’s Second Show
Pleasance Courtyard, 22:45
@DaphneComedyI’ve not seen Daphne yet but I’m very keen to. Phil Wang is superb. Phil Wang is very funny and clever and young and brilliant. Phil Wang is in Daphne.
THURSDAY 25th
Jordan Brookes: The Making Of
Lauhing Horse @ The Cellar Monkey, 17:00 FREE
@JordBrookes
One of my very favourite acts right now. He won a big award this year too but don’t let that put you off. He’s great..
FRIDAY 26th
Alfie Brown: Scissor
Laughing Horse @ City Cafe, 15:00 FREE
@ABrownComic
I like Alfie a lot. The great thing is, he’s unpredictable. You might spend the hour laughing or drowning in fire. Probably the former though.
SATURDAY 27th
Eleanor Morton: Happy Birthday Katie Lewis!
The Stand 4, 14:25
@EleanorMorton
One of my very favourites of last year. Perfect, strong, very witty character comedy. eleanor is fearless. Everyone see her show, please.
SUNDAY 28th
Lloyd Langford: Rascal
Laughing Horse @ The White Horse, 21:15 FREE
What a way to end your Fringe. One of the very best stand-ups in the country. He’s a charming treat. And it’s a free show! Hooray!.
SUNDAY 29th
Nothing
Nowhere, Never
If you’re a comedian who’s stupid enough to do a show on the last Monday of the Fringe, you get what you deserve. Twat.
