2012 Edinburgh Fringe

It's time to dust off those gilets and iron your tweeds because Simply the Jest are back! Having performing to packed-out audiences at last year's Edinburgh Festival Fringe, the nine-strong sketch troupe from Exeter have returned with a brand new show dissecting the habits, rituals and downright absurdities of middle class life. Through a variety of sketches, songs and parodies, the group will once again be showing off their 'not-so-conventional, exceptionally witty' (Daniel Regan, NewKid.co.uk) comedy that went down so well at the Fringe last year. Anyone for croquet?
