The Stand

Admin

The Fringe's only and probably best political stand-up gig returns to harangue, cajole and generally bark at a distressingly naughty planet. Hosted by the undisputed Andy Zaltzman ('The Bugle' podcast, 'History of the Third Millennium', 'The Department', 'Now Show'), with a different bill of universe-leading comedians each night, this show leaves no socioeconomicopolitical hot potato unbuttered. Previous acts include: Stewart Lee, Russell Howard, Richard Herring, Andrew Maxwell, Robert Newman, Mark Thomas, Natalie Haynes, Paul Sinha, Russell Brand, Jon Richardson. As heard on Radio 4. In a different format. Quite a long time ago. If you were up late.
