Charmingly shambolic, Comedy Countdown promises a night of outrageous arithmetic and wacky wordplay. The result is an entertaining and interactive night of joyful banter, unexpected abilities and terrible spelling. Hosted by Dan Atktinson, and unrestrained by scripts, the rotating line-up of comedians will take you on an unpredictable and riotous journey. 'The best version of the game I've seen since the untimely departures of Richard Whiteley and Carol Vorderman ... great, shambolic fun' (Scotsman). 'Undemanding, great fun and the kind of unique, off-piste entertainment that sits well with the spirit of the Fringe' (Guardian).

How to spend £30 at the Edinburgh Fringe

Expensive isn't it, the Fringe? What with those pesky opportunist landlords and those pesky twilight boozers.

London is Funny is sadly unable to intervene when it comes to sweeping rent controls, or alcohol licensing legislation, but LiF CAN help when it comes to having a cracking day of comedy without breaking the bank.

Behold the London is Funny Fringe day planners! (£50 article to come later this week)

London Is Funny, 30th July 2014

Charmingly shambolic, Comedy Countdown promises over an hour of outrageous arithmetic and wacky wordplay brought to you via the spontaneous game-show ramblings of guest comedians and local favourites. The result: an always entertaining and interactive night of joyful banter, unexpected abilities and terrible spelling.

Guided by the regular host Dan Aktinson, and unrestrained by scripts, the rotating line-up of irreverent puzzlebusters will take you on a journey that is as unpredictable as it is riotous.

Comedy Countdown has become a cult hit, enjoying sell-out audiences and a devoted legion of fans.

Previous guest have included Mark Watson, Sarah Millican, Richard Herring, Josie Long and Alex Horne.
