TODAY IN THE STUDIO:

Kate Dolan: Trout

8:35PM

MB2

Join award-winning comedian Kate Dolan for her brand new hour of rapid-fire, off-kilter stand up. In 2026, is being a fish in the river nicer than a woman on land? 'Irrepressibly funny... reminiscent of Jim Carrey' **** (Scotsman). 'Her performance screams star quality' **** (Chortle.co.uk). 'A wild assault of jokes, voices, act outs and asides... Where have you been all of my comedy life?' **** (Fest).

Harriet Dyer: Easily Distra...

8:35PM

CabVol 2

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).

Alice Fraser: Oh Man!

8:40PM

O'Neill's (The Tron)

One of the Telegraph’s 50 Best Comedians of the 21st Century. She’s decided she actually quite likes men and wants to help. There are a lot of men telling men how to be, and how to optimise life, business and testosterone.

Lou Wall: Where Are All The Tall Grandmas?

9:15PM

MB4

Where are all the tall grandmas? Be honest, you’ve never seen one, have you? So where the f#%k are they? Do they shrink? Die young? Are short kings eating them? In this hilariously unhinged new hour, Lou dives head first into the disappearance of tall old women everywhere. A comedic investigation into height, heritage and what it truly means to live large.

Ryan Cullen: Cullen Me Softly

9:15PM

The Studio

Cullen Me Softly is a brand-new hour of sharp, pitch-black one-liners from a comic who isn’t afraid to stare directly into the world’s uglier corners. From the rise of racism in the UK to global tensions, cultural absurdities and the chaos unfolding in places like America, the show digs into the darker side of modern life with a grin and a scalpel. Cullen also turns that same uncompromising lens on his own upbringing, picking apart the moments – both grim and ridiculous – that shaped him.

Huge Davies: Sleep Paralysis Princess

9:30PM

CabVol 1

Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee, Huge Davies (Cats Does Countdown, Roast Battle, Off Menu), has not slept for a decade. To mark this ten year anniversary, he’s going to tell jokes about it whilst wearing a big keyboard... watch? 'Ingenius' ***** (EdFringeReview.com). 'Masterful' **** (Chortle.co.uk). 'Had me shaking with laughter' **** (Telegraph).

Sarah Roberts: Scary Movie 7

10PM

MB2

Do you think we’re ever truly forgiven? Sarah has never gotten over anything. Not because she’s annoying, because she’s cursed. Oh, and she needs your soul for something. Nothing bad OK!! BBC New Comedy Awards regional finalist, One of The Guardian’s funniest comedians of the Fringe 2024, Rolling Stone’s Rising Stars of 2024 and Chortle Award-nominated shitposter.

Adam Flood: Life and Death of the Party

10PM

CabVol 2

Standup performed over big electronic beats. A show about hedonism and Adam’s vanishing nightlife. ‘It shouldn’t work, but it absolutely does’, Metro. ‘A multifaceted comedy talent', Guardian. As seen on BBC and ITV. Adam Flood, from Stoke-on-Trent, was once a teenage drug-dealer, then an indie rockstar, now a comedian.

William Thompson: Touch Grass

10:05PM

O'Neill's (The Tron)

The government wants to ban under-16s from social media, but is it really that bad? Having been raised by the internet, Belfast comic William Thompson ponders if other generations should do the same – or if they should go outside and touch grass. The new hour-long show from William Thompson (LazyBoyz, Tea With Me, Channel 4) features Thompson's trademark dark, punchy style tackling the subject of social media.

Dan Tiernan: Quartz and All

10:25PM

MB1

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'.
