A genderless riot from a little old force to be reckoned with. Sanders goes hard-pedal without too much fuss. Forty five plus jokes, six props, one hero and I dare say a bit of heartbreak (you) and a smattering of ground-break (her). Sanders generally, absolutely, ultimately nails it. Sleaze: turned down. Clothed: fully. As seen on Stewart Lee's Alternative Comedy Experience and Russell Howard's Good News. 'Destined for hugeness' (Time Out). 'Crazy off-beat surrealism, something new is happening in comedy' (Independent). 'If you're not entertained by this you've got a problem' (Fest).

How female comics took over the Fringe

At this year's Edinburgh Fringe there are almost as many jokes about feminism as there are about cats on the internet. Which is to say, lots of them. Bridget Christie, fresh from winning the Fosters Edinburgh Comedy Award (formerly the Perrier) last year, is back with an hour that tackles female circumcision and the ridiculous sexualisation present even in yoghurt adverts. Sara Pascoe's tour of women in history includes a delightfully sharp debunking of Page 3. Luisa Omielan is packing out a ballroom each night with Am I Right Ladies?!, a raucous celebration in which she sticks her fingers up at issues such as body fascism.

Award-winning Lou Sanders' upbeat, unpredictable breed of eccentric comedy is tricky to classify. But the joy is in the journey and the result is mesmerising.

This year Lou's show is taking a slightly more serious approach - Lou has agendas and she needs to push them. Top of the list are:
1) Her calendar promoting fruit & veg
2) Her collection of erotic short stories (WARNING - very mildly erotic)

Another Great Show Again is an explosive firecracker and an unhinged riot from a little old force to be reckoned with. Sanders goes hard-pedal without too much fuss. Forty-five-plus jokes, six props, one hero and dare I say a bit of heartbreak (you) and a smattering of ground-break (her). Expect a force field of entertainment; audience deconstruction, erotic stories and a vaginal dance; all tied up with excellent jokes. Sanders generally, absolutely, ultimately nails it.

Recently Lou has appeared on Stewart Lee's Alternative Comedy Experience, Russell Howard's Good News and presented a regular radio show with Richard Herring.

Fast gaining a reputation as a comic's comic. Lou has written additional material for Miranda Hart's 2014 tour, two series of C4's Stand up for the Week, BBC Three's Laughtershock & various TV pilots. She was in the top 10 jokes from the Edinburgh Fringe 2012, Dave TV, and had a featured joke of the day in the Independent.
