The Durham Revue are marooned on a desert island! How will they get out of this sketchy situation? An hour of raucous comedy! The group that brought you Ed Gamble, Stevie Martin, Nish Kumar, Ambika Mod and more return with a new troupe and 100% new material. Join the award-winning Durham Revue, one of the UK's top student comedy groups, for an hour of hilarious, cutting-edge sketches and laughs for everyone!  

Welcome to the mid-noughties world of emo teen and future rockstar, David. He's smart. He's mature. He's memorised a diagram of a vulva and it definitely didn't make him feel sick. And he's here to headline Sticky Floors – the coolest under 16s band night in the Bay Area. But when his bandmate doesn't show, will he handle himself with a sense of poise and rationality? With live renditions of classic rock, original songs and emo bangers. 

On his loneliest birthday yet, rotten little Huxley is whisked away by the timeless Mr Cardboard! This disturbingly delightful 'unhinged Pixar film' (Audience review) folds the grotesque into the beautiful. It warms the heart and rips it along its perforated edge. Take his hand and think cardboard thoughts! Miles and Levi are two award-winning Philippe Gaulier trained clowns and theatre makers from opposite sides of the world who share a love for the absurdly humorous and unexpectedly affecting.  

Award-winning comedian Kate Owens presents her smash hit, critically acclaimed comedy show. Meet Kathryn: the "star" of her own community cookin' show, wannabe Nigella Lawson, and down-home southern belle with more wine in her veins than Jesus. She's serving up a wacked-out fricassee of absurd recipes, but the main course will be a reckoning with her troubled past and a chaotic encounter with a member of the congregation (maybe it'll be you!).  

Mary Floppins has thrown a shit fit. Wipe the wee from the toilet seat and pick up your dirty undies, because The Perfect Nanny is back to teach all you little boys – and girls – a thing or two about running a prim and proper household. Returning to the UK after sold-out performances at Adelaide Fringe and Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Jessica Barton combines a spoonful of song, dance, clowning, and deep cleaning to present a skanky and empowering Edinburgh Fringe debut.

THISMOTHERPHUCKER is a public nuisance. A dysfunctional anti-clown whose only mission is to destroy ego. Award-winning stand-up and drag performance artist Su Mi presents their debut show: an immersive surreal experience resurrecting every nostalgic moment left forgotten, healing the inner child and seeking to destroy archaic stereotypes and challenge the narrative of comedy whilst navigating a predominantly white cis space. BBC New Comedian of the Year nominee, finalist of Funny Women Awards and Musical Comedy Awards, and Top of the Slops drag superstar.  

It's 1914. The Great War is destroying Europe. Except it's actually 2025 and Jessica Durand is (very bravely) staging her very own self-insert Downton Abbey fanfiction for a live audience. An absurd one-woman love letter to fandom, queer villainy and trench warfare. No prior knowledge of Downton Abbey (or WWI) is required.

One of the top ten best reviewed shows of Edinburgh Fringe 2024.  Six-foot-seven identical twins Hugo and Patrick McPherson, return with their hilarious new show Phobia, a new hour of chaotic sketch comedy.  Come and witness the tallest, most identical comedians at the Fringe (not proven, though confidently assumed).       

Fresh bingo, new robots and lower quality prizes. The UK's #1 IT consultants, Pete and Lloyd, have created the best interactive quirky bingo-based experience for introverts. Play using your (charged!) phone, but in a fun way! From the comfort of your seat, control the show, steer a robotic shopping bag, attempt to draw a perfect circle, and become a statistic in our all-new multi-level bingo jail, dungeon and judicial system. If you don't like bingo, come to this. Winner of the 2024 Adelaide Fringe Innovation Award.

Edinburgh, are you ready? Warriors, are you ready? Created in New York and Chicago, BATSU! returns to the Fringe after a riotous, sell-out 2024. Witness comedians compete to avoid electric shocks, paintballs, a giant chicken and more hilarious, jaw-dropping punishments. Long, long ago, in the Land of the Rising Sun, four warriors used the power of laughter to capture Batsu no Akuma, the Spirit of Punishment, within a sacred gong. The evil spirit has once more emerged at the Fringe and the Comedy Warriors must rise again! 

Two men who like making funny shows together have decided to use the cavernous bowels of the Underbelly to stretch and writhe and dream the impossible dream one more time. A brand new show made right in front of you. Trygve lives in Prague and Barnie lives in New Zealand, so they don’t get to hang out very often, but this August they will, and they can’t wait to see what will happen. Physical verbose mime nonsense from two masters of their craftinesses. This one goes like this / that one goes like this It says a lot, without saying much. How do you feel about Hot Chips?
