'The Dirty Immigrant Collective' is an American stand-up show featuring phenomenal comedians of the immigrant, minority or otherwise outcast variety. These dirty comics come from multi-cultural backgrounds, with grandparents who don't speak English, parents with that special brand of Jewish guilt and crazy uncles with inexplicable political views, strict religious dictums and a thing for the forbidden bacon. They've got something to say about their American/British/occidental experience that will make you laugh! www.DirtyImmigrantCollective.com

More details
The Dirty Immigrant Collective is an American stand-up show featuring outstanding comedians of the immigrant, minority or otherwise outcast variety. What they have in common is phenomenal quality. Expect biting political and religious satire as well as surreal whimsy and observational humour. "It doesn't get much funnier than this" (Backstage)
These dirty comics headline clubs and festivals all over the US, they win awards, appear on TV, make films - but only two of them have played Edinburgh before. They come from multi-cultural backgrounds, with grandparents who don't speak English, parents with that special brand of Jewish guilt, crazy uncles with inexplicable political views, strict religious dictums and a thing for the forbidden bacon. And they've got something to say about their
American/ British/ occidental experience that'll make you laugh...
