Lee Camp: Destruction! Distraction! Evolution?

Benny Boot: As Seen On TV

Get Comedy. Following last year's sell-out show, this year Benny (seen on Dave's One Night Stand) pre-empts his imminent fame by recording a TV special live from the 2013 Edinburgh Festival. However, the stakes are high as he's not been given the green light from the television networks. Benny continually blurs the…

Terry Clement: Din Times 8

Get Comedy. It is difficult to describe, in writing, exactly what Terry does… psychedelic performance art? Stoner music deluxe? Blue-collar observations strained through a Picasso filter and rolled onto a Gysin Canvas? Din Times 8 is at times scary, silly and almost always hallucinatory, pushing the boundaries of…

Keith Farnan: Fear Itself

Laughing Stock Productions. If you've read this far, you've either cheated, thought about cheating or been cheated on. We have that in common. Award-winning Aussie comedian David Quirk takes us back to one day of his life, in Finland; a day that changed everything, when he shook hands with danger and didn't let go.

Pete Cain: Everybody Out!

Pete Cain / The Assembly Rooms. Wickedly funny, incorrectly political, radically reasonable, relevantly relevant, ridiculously true and beautifully observed; the thought-provoking stand-up returns to Edinburgh with the answer to all of our social, economic and political problems, yes all of them. Buckle-up. 'Dark but…

Carey Marx: Intensive Carey

Intensive Carey delves into the repercussions of a life-changing experience. What happens when something so profound impacts your life?
