After selling out in 2009, Sean Hughes has been on the road for a whole year and has been perfecting his new show. At its absolute peak, he brings it to Edinburgh for two weeks only! A household name with his dark, explosive style of quick-fire audience banter who has appeared in endless TV shows. Sean recently returned to his first love, stand-up and is back at his absolute best. 'High-calibre comedy as it should be' (Evening Standard). Book early! 'Lines to kill for and a presence to match' (List).

My Edinburgh Sean Hughes, comedian

I've been coming up to Edinburgh for almost 25 years - with a seven-year gap in the middle. The Fringe has totally changed in that time. You used to turn up on the day and do your show. Now you're doing interviews about your show in March.
