2011 Edinburgh Fringe

More details

Simply the Jest is a student comedy troupe from Exeter University. With sell out shows across Exeter behind us, the 9 of us are heading to the big lights of the Edinbrgh Fringe Festival with a diverse range of sketches, jokes and parodies for your entertainment. We hope you will come and see us perform, unless of course you are offended by the following: Maggie Smith, misplaced nipples, paedophiles, Yorkshire's only all-male Destiny's Child tribute band, a penguin called David Cameron, violated gnomes, a Welsh Lady Sovereign wannabe, child rape and the baby Jesus. In a ditch.

Perhaps a good (and brief) example of their credentials are the imagined inappropriate iPhone Apps that punctuate their show, a selection of which can be seen here:

Simply the Jest are made up of nine of the best student talents in the country including Jack Stanley (Little Britain, A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) and Ella Ainsworth (School of Comedy) and between them have produced a diverse show consisting of a huge variety of sketches, songs and parodies.
