Daniel was determined to handle his Big Break-up with the grace of Julia Roberts. He didn’t. Join the award-winning comedian as he navigates dating in your 30s, Le Creuset addiction and 12-step skincare routines, all while trying very hard to emanate love and light. Daniel is best known for his viral comedy videos, which are enjoyed by millions of women and gays online.

Fresh from her new show on BBC Radio 4, award-winning comedian Eleanor Morton returns with a show all about mermaids and why she wants to be one, even though she can't swim. A show all about wanting to be beautiful, mythology, 2000s magazine sex tips, rat boyfriends, and James Cameron's submarine. Justice for Nicola Roberts.

BRUV. The break-out star of Taskmaster and Mr Bigstuff is donning her swaggest hijab and serving up her one-of-a-kind and award-winning stand-up. Expect strong language and stereotype smashing.

Brand-new show from Edinburgh's own Gareth Waugh. A story of scams, lies, podcasts and fizzy drinks. A hilarious and intriguing true story in which true-crime podcasts meets stand-up comedy! Tour support for Daniel Sloss, Katherine Ryan, John Bishop and Jammali Maddix. 'Effortless, hugely personable comedy' (List). 'Impressive comic chops... engaging, friendly onstage manner... very funny' (BeyondTheJoke.co.uk).

You probably already know me from reading the news. In 2018, I dressed up as a sewing needle and hid inside a strawberry. There should be a French word for the moment you realize a bald dude actually has a ponytail. I'm so used to failure that success represents an existential threat.

David here! This is the perfect late-night event for you! End your Edinburgh day with me!! Your brain’s gonna melt out of your ears. If you’re still reading this get a ticket cause these words are only the beginning of the adventure!! I’ve made a comedy rave that blends my favourite tracks to dance to with chaos that I’ve been honing in Aus and NZ over the past two years.

Eric Rushton brings a brand-new stand-up show to the Fringe after the sell-out success of his last show, Innkeeper. Winner: Channel 4 Sean Lock Comedy Award. Winner: Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year Award. Nominated: ISH Edinburgh Comedy Awards for Best Show. 'No wonder it sold out. A thinking man’s comedian with a gift for subverting standard tropes hilariously' ***** (One4Review.co.uk).

Best International Act 2025 Nominee at the NZ Comedy Festival. In 2025 Felicity Ward (Live at the Apollo,The Office - Australia) was the happiest she's been in a decade. What happened? Divorce, Bisexuality, and Dancing with the Stars. And this bonafide showpony's greatest gift is that she simply cannot shut tf up. 'Great big snorting exhortations of comic laughter' (List).

Americans are the best at imperialism and comedy. We have already proven the first. I am here to prove the latter. Many shows at the Fringe have a narrative throughline and a cute little callback at the end. My show mostly concentrates on being incredibly funny. And if you listen closely you might also just learn something in this uproarious ode to a failing empire.

Dan Tiernan is back at it again: and this time he’s got magic rocks in his pocket. With a hat trick of sold-out Edinburgh shows, Dan's a double Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee, who has received countless five-star reviews. No wonder the Guardian has named him 'one of comedy’s most distinctive new voices'.

Underrated stand-up and asthmatic wretch Ed Night lumbers back to the Fringe with yet another new show. Prepare to have your ribs tickled to the max with material about all sorts of different topics and subjects. 2025 Edinburgh Comedy Awards Best Show nominee (it's not a science).

Take a cynical, detached mind forged in Eastern Europe and train it in the art of Western stand-up, and you’ll find A Very Capable Man. Evaldas gives a microphone to the quiet, calculating voice in the back of your head for an uncomfortably accurate comedy hour. This is a show about the thoughts we all share, but are smart enough not to say out loud.

Finlay misguidedly believes that his muggers fancied him, that being a f*ckboy is cool and that Kim Jong Un would love him. Funny, self-aware and internet-brained, this is an hour about the myths constructed by incels, billionaires and even human people, that mean we don’t have to admit we’re ordinary, rejected or wrong. There’s also a strong section on air fryers.

Hark! Harriet Dyer (Live at the Apollo, 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown and Channel 4 Sean Lock Comedy Award winner) shall permeate your glockenspiel with tales of wetsuits on buses, bee siblings and cows that cure baldness! 'A must-see and a masterclass of originality' **** (NeurodiverseReview.co.uk). 'Delightfully chaotic' (EdFestMag.com).
