2011 Edinburgh Fringe

More details

A firm favourite at the festival, Comedy Club 4 Kids returns to Edinburgh in the excited new hands of Tiernan Douieb. Comedy Club 4 Kids is the highest quality of comedy for everyone over the age of six. It sees the best and bravest comedians on the UK circuit doing what they do best but without the rude bits.

Comedy Club 4 Kids has been delighting children and their families since 2006. Six months ago, Tiernan Douieb - a regular Comedy Club 4 Kids performer - took over the reins from its founder. Bigger, bolder and more brilliant than ever, the Edinburgh show features three different comedians each day with occasional guest appearances from young graduates from the Comedy Club 4 Kids Academy in London.

Previous line-ups have included comedy greats such as Stephen K Amos, Brendon Burns, Jason Byrne, Rich Hall, Adam Hills, Robin Ince, Stewart Lee, Josie Long, Phil Nichol and Isy Suttie. Since 2009, Comedy Club 4 Kids has been resident at Soho Theatre in London, taking place fortnightly alongside the Academy run by Melissa O'Brien.

Tiernan Douieb says: "Comedy Club 4 Kids never ever gets dull to host, with constantly brilliant audiences and watching amazing comedy acts do completely unexpected sets in order to cater for 6-11 year olds. I'm looking forward to another Fringe of introducing some of the best acts on the circuit and see them deal with heckles such as "you look like a duck" (Simon, aged 6)."

Frankie Brickmann (Comedy Academy 4 Kids student and performer, aged 14): "The Comedy Academy 4 Kids has offered me the opportunity to perform in Edinburgh without bankrupting myself. Which would be problematic as a 14-year-old."
