ABOUT THE SHOWS...

DAN ANTOPOLSKI – Dan Antopolski’s Penetrating Gaze

“Humbled by fatherhood, the genius returns.” (Dan Antopolski, 2008).

The triple Perrier Award nominee, star of BBC TWO’s Hyperdrive and BBC Radio 2’s Out To Lunch returns to present his fifth solo show following the sell-out success of all his previous runs. Expect his trademark material and an alarming density of new jokes, routines and songs.

“You're unlikely to see a slicker, more self-assured performer at Edinburgh this year than Dan Antopolski.”
Daily Telegraph

July 31 - August 24 | White Belly - 20.50 (except August 20) - CLICK TO BOOK

------------

DAN ATKINSON – The Credit Crunch and other Biscuits

DAN ATKINSON returns from 2007’s critically-acclaimed solo debut hit to flick two fingers to the man, unfortunately the wrong ones. Ends up looking very stupid. More fun than a log flume and less wet. If you need more reasons to come, then don’t bother.

“Atkinson has a natural wit and a wonderful way with a crowd.”
Mickey Noonan, Metro

July 30 - August 25 | Pleasance Attic - 21.30 (except August 20) - CLICK TO BOOK

------------

JEN BRISTER & CLARE WARDE – Reception

Ever done a job you hate so much that visits to the toilet are the highlight? JEN BRISTER (BBC 6 Music) and CLARE WARDE (Touch Me I'm Karen Taylor, BBC THREE and Laura Ben and Him, ITV2) aren’t pursuing their dream, instead they’re sorting the post. Join them struggling with the switchboard whilst fantasising about what they ‘should’ be doing.

“The glamorous Clare Warde embodies a succession of relationship-hungry women, each pleasingly making her mark on the psychotic spectrum and being a caricature in the very best sense of magnifying an essential truth by a few skilfully exaggerated strokes.” Julia Chamberlain, Metro

"[Jen Brister is] confident, energetic and knows how to deliver a line for maximum laughs."
The Scotsman

July 30 - August 25 | Pleasance Hut - 13.00 (except August 20) - CLICK TO BOOK

------------

SIMON BRODKIN - Simon Brodkin is Lee Nelson

An hour with Lee Nelson, the celebrated comic creation of Writers' Guild Best Newcomer Award winner SIMON BRODKIN (BBC THREE's The Wall and BBC Radio 2's Out To Lunch).

“There is a touch of the young Harry Enfield about this slick operator.”
Mark Wareham, The Mail on Sunday

July 30 - August 25 | Pleasance Upstairs - 20.30 (except August 20) - CLICK TO BOOK

------------

ROB DEERING – Boobs 2008

ROB DEERING is a feminist, but he really enjoys a nice pair of whackers. For a busy comedian / guitar hero / chubby-cheeked charmer, balancing the two can be hard. Really hard.

“As sharp and versatile as a Swiss Army knife, Rob Deering is one of the best performers currently on the circuit.”
James Rampton, The Independent

July 31 - August 24 | Baby Belly - 20.20 (except August 12) - CLICK TO BOOK

------------

BRITT EKLAND – Britt on Britt

Join one of the 20th century’s most beautiful women, the former Bond girl BRITT, as she looks through her remarkable life revealing unknown truths from Sweden to Sellers and the glamour of Hollywood. Direct from the smash-hit tour Grumpy Old Women Live, BRITT offers a no-holds barred exploration of the woman behind the headlines.

“The Swede was one of the most desirable women on the planet.”
Martin Halle, The Mirror

July 31 - August 25 | Assembly Supper Room - 18.30 (except August 20) - CLICK TO BOOK

------------

STEVE HALL – Vice-Captain Loser

WE ARE KLANG's least memorable member does a stand-up show. If.comedy and Barry Award nominee, Chortle Award winner, Adecco Alfred Marks Borehamwood Branch July 1997 Temp of the Month nominee. Show title actual quote from actual dad.

“Breathtaking comic firepower.”
Kate Copstick, The Scotsman

July 30 - August 25 | Pleasance Hut - 20.30 (except August 20) - CLICK TO BOOK

------------

RICHARD HERRING – The Headmaster’s Son

What’s worse than being a podgy, swotty, virginal schoolboy? What if your dad’s the headmaster too? The Fist of Fun and Oh F***, I’m 40! star relives childhood embarrassments, first love and belching during the minute’s silence in church. What are the psychological repercussions of schooldays filled with suspicion and mistrust?

“As a comedian he is at his peak.”
Bruce Dessau, The Evening Standard

July 31 - August 24 | White Belly - 19.30 (except August 20) - CLICK TO BOOK

------------

ALEX HORNE – Wordwatching

Perrier Best Newcomer Award nominee ALEX HORNE has been trying to invent a new word for the last two and a half years. Can one man infiltrate the English language? Is it possible to smuggle a home-made word into the dictionary? All will be revealed in this multi-media neologistic bonanza.

“Shy, studious, even slightly nerdy, his dilettante's thirst for arcane knowledge has nevertheless produced some of the most playfully clever and technically ambitious shows to hit the Edinburgh Fringe in recent years."
Jay Richardson, The Herald

July 30 - August 25 | Pleasance Above - 19.40 (except August 20) - CLICK TO BOOK

------------

COLIN HOULT & DAVID McNEILL- Zimbani

In the ‘70s it was Star Wars, the ‘80s Die Hard, the ‘90s The Matrix. Now…Zimbani! The new buzzword in action, terror, and adventure. Zimbani - a totally demented new comedy starring COLIN HOULT (COLIN & FERGUS), DAVID McNEILL (Laura Ben and Him, ITV2) and CLARE WARDE (Touch Me, I’m Karen Taylor, BBC THREE).

“Inspired silliness…Great stuff.”
Marissa Burgess, Chortle

July 30 - August 25 | Pleasance Beside - 14.45 (except August 20) - CLICK TO BOOK

------------

RUSSELL HOWARD – Dingledodies

Still unfashionably fond of humanity, if.comedy and Barry Award nominee RUSSELL returns to Edinburgh with his fifth solo show in as many years, following the sell-out success of his previous four visits to the Fringe. Festival goers will be able to catch the Mock The Week (BBC TWO) star play five dates at The Assembly Rooms Music Hall before he heads out on a 48-date UK tour.

“He is a huge talent.”
Dominic Maxwell, The Times

August 20 - 24 only | Assembly Music Room - 22.30 - CLICK TO BOOK

------------

RUSSELL KANE – Fakespeare: The Lamentable Tragedie of Yates’s Wine Lodge

Imagine if everyone in Southend-on-Sea spoke in Shakespearean English.

Acclaimed comedian RUSSELL KANE presents his debut Edinburgh play. In full ‘Fakespeare’ style (as seen on the Paramount Comedy Channel) this four-hander piece is a base blank verse tale of love, Bacardi Breezers and tragedie set in Southend.

“Great skill and huge laughs…it’s refreshing to find an hour where the conceit never feels strained.”
Mickey Noonan, Metro

August 21 - 23 only | Pleasance Ace Dome - 15.30 - CLICK TO BOOK

------------

RUSSELL KANE - Gaping Flaws

2006 was a tub-thumping critical success. 2007 was a sell-out run, garnering an Elizabeth Dukedom of glimmering four and five star reviews. He’s back for a third annus. Strap in for some super speed sunderings, cod-sociology, and fizzy rants at the smug elites who try to pull our strings and tick our boxes.

“The Perrier nominee is about as smart a young comic as you’re likely to find.”
Stephen Armstrong, The Sunday Times

July 30 - August 25 | Pleasance Cavern - 20.00 (except August 20) - CLICK TO BOOK

------------

JOANNA NEARY - Joanna Neary’s Magic Hole

This plucky outsider uses her hole for a journey of self-exploration and time travel. Join Carol Streep and a universally appealing galaxy of stellar characters - past and future - spinsters, rascals and robots.

”Hard to better. Neary is a fiercely gifted actor and her short monologues are peppered with clever songs and silly dances… Leaves you with a huge smile and a renewed sense of delight in daftness.”
Stephanie Merritt, The Observer

July 31 - August 25 | Assembly Drawing Room - 17.00 - CLICK TO BOOK

------------

MARK OLVER - Ramble On

MARK OLVER is 33. His greatest achievement in life so far is giving up fried chicken for Lent. In June 2008 he managed to / tried to / completely embarrassed himself while attempting to walk from Bristol to Edinburgh. This show is the story of that walk / utter disaster. Delete as applicable.

“Warm and personal but with a real sense of risk... Great material as well... You’ll be glad you spent an hour in his company.”
Tom Hackett, Fest Magazine

July 31 - August 24 | Belly Dance - 21.10 (except August 20) - CLICK TO BOOK

------------

ISY SUTTIE – The Suttie Show

Catch the musical comic after her 2007 sell-out show. Ever-quirky songs, characters and stand-up from ISY, recently seen in Channel 4’s Peep Show (as Dobby), Radio 2’s Out to Lunch and as writer for Channel 4’s Skins.

“Isy Suttie is a modern-day Victoria Wood - and it’s a similarity that extends beyond the soft Northern twang, or the fact that they are both talented musicians as much as stand-ups. This is comedy with heart and soul... Lovely stuff.”
Steve Bennett, Chortle

July 30 - August 25 | Pleasance Beside - 16.00 (except August 12) - CLICK TO BOOK

------------

DANIELLE WARD – Danielle Ward in Glorious Technicolor

The multi-award winning comic and writer of Psister Psycho and Take a Break Tales returns to Edinburgh for her debut stand-up show about thinking things, doing things and regretting things.

“Deliciously warped mind.”
Steve Bennett, Chortle

July 30 - August 25 | Pleasance Attic - 22.45 (except August 15) - CLICK TO BOOK

------------

JOE WILKINSON & DIANE MORGAN - Two Episodes of Mash presents Joe Wilkinson and Diane Morgan

Two Episodes of Mash Presents Hackney Empire New Act Award winner JOE WILKINSON and Nivea Funny Women Award and Hackney Empire New Act nominee DIANE MORGAN (as seen in Phoenix Nights, unless you blinked) doing stuff. This is more or less a sketch show, as far as we can tell.

“An absolute natural, marrying Stewart Lee-style joke deconstruction to scathing one-liners worthy of Jack Dee... undoubtedly destined for greatness.”
Bruce Dessau, Evening Standard

July 30 - August 25 | Pleasance Cellar - 20.30 (except August 8) - CLICK TO BOOK

------------

ROSIE WILKINSON & HELEN O’BRIEN – Domestic Goddi “Pick of the Fringe” ROSIE WILKINSON and BBC New Comedy Award Winner, HELEN O’BRIEN rustle up an organic, gluten-free feast of freshly slaughtered comedy sketches. A palette cleanser of TV chefs, followed by a distorted portion of teenage angst and a casserole of teachers. Domestic Goddi - don’t feel guilty for not grinding your own flour. Warning: may contain nuts.

"Funny, touching and compelling."
Time Out

July 30 - August 25 | Pleasance Cellar - 12.55 (except August 20) - CLICK TO BOOK

------------

STEVE WILLIAMS – The Ultimate Worrier

Following 2007’s hit success STEVE WILLIAMS returns to Edinburgh with a show fraught with fantastical fables and free form folly forged from flourishing flights of fancy and fabulously funny fobservations. It’s high calibre humour, smeared with fun and laughs. So why is he worrying?

“It’s not often I laugh so hard that I snort like a pig. But I did in Steve Williams’ show... If you are any sort of comedy fan, you should see this show... There are some one-liners and asides that I am still quoting three days later.”
Rosie Carnahan, Chortle

July 30 - August 25 | Pleasance Below - 19.15 (except August 20) - CLICK TO BOOK

------------

ANDY ZALTZMAN – Political Animal

The Fringe’s only and unquestionably best political stand-up gig triumphantly returns from its triumphant return to BBC Radio 4 to harangue and cajole a very naughty planet. Featuring a different top-class bill each night and hosted by the undisputed, sporadically-acclaimed ANDY ZALTZMAN. Previous acts include: S.LEE, M.THOMAS, R.NEWMAN, C.ADDISON, R.BRAND, G.WOOL, N.HAYNES, D.KITSON, R.HOWARD, P.SINHA, R.HERRING, D.BHOY, M.BRIGSTOCKE, and I.STONE. Partial sell-out 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007.

“This stand-up showcase…is still one of the best and most original around. Andy Zaltzman is the perfect host, genial and enthusiastic about the rest of the bill. His cerebral, surreal, effortlessly topical material introduces a show that’s often extremely intelligent.”
Tom Hackett, Fest Magazine

July 31 - August 24 (Thursday - Sunday only) | Belly Laugh - 22.30 - CLICK TO BOOK

THE COMEDY ZONE
(TOM DEACON, ELIS JAMES, NAT LUURTSEMA and HENRY PAKER)


The Edinburgh Festival Fringe’s longest running group comedy show returns for its 18th year with TOM DEACON (Chortle Student Comedy Award winner), ELIS JAMES (National Student Radio Comedy Award winner), NAT LUURTSEMA (Chortle Best Newcomer nominee) and HENRY PAKER (Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year). Expect the show, which has previously launched the careers of DAVE GORMAN, HARRY HILL, MARK LAMARR, STEWART LEE, SIMON MUNNERY, AL MURRAY, NOEL FIELDING and ROSS NOBLE, to once again showcase the freshest, most exciting new comedy talent in the UK.

“The Fringe’s leading stand-up showcase.”
