Tamsyn Kelly: Rat's Ass

4:20PM

CabVol 2

Tamsyn made the most money she's ever made last year. What's the figure? Let's say it's not bad for a girl whose childhood pet was a second-hand rat. How did she do it? Ermm. Okay. The thing is. You're not gonna like this... A show about class, doing things you don't want to do, and $$$. Seen/heard on HBO, ITV2, Comedy Central, BBC One, BBC Three, BBC Radio 4.

Tom Cashman: NPC (Nearly Proficient Comedian)

5PM

MB4

Tom Cashman is back in Edinburgh with a new hour of stand-up that promises to creep ever so close to proficiency. You may know Tom from Taskmaster or TikTok or from his show descriptions which usually end very abru- 'A fast-paced, sharp, hilarious hour... like a good fever dream' ***** (TheAge.com.au). 'Tom Cashman is one of the most delightfully watchable comics I have seen' (Scotsman).

Kate Hammer: Government Approved Comedian

The Studio

One Canadian needs to make you laugh, otherwise she will be deported. Join Kate as she navigates proving herself to get a Global Talent Visa, getting dominated on Vinted, and breaking up with an identical twin. As seen on Breaking the News, BBC Scotland, Roast Battle League and Channel 4. 'A full package, all tools comedian... It is impossible not to vibe with Hammer' (Comedy.co.uk).

Milo Edwards: Catamaran

5:15PM

Various

Catamaran is a show about his parents and the letters they wrote and the 1980s, in which Milo asks what remains of a human life, what's torn out, what happens if that life was surprisingly horny...

Lara Ricote: INKLING

5:40PM

MB3

You know when stuff happens to you and you react in a certain way (read: cry) so then you lean in? To know thyself? A man in a museum was mean to me (classic) and I’ve gotten a lot out of it (hell yeah). My stupidest and smartest show yet (alright!). INKLING is a show about How to Salute to the Mystery of Being Alive (ok?). Might that be of intrigue...? To you? Big kisses to you and yours. Love, Lara.
