Back for their third year, the Comedy Ferrets bring a tasty buffet of stand-up, comedy magic and sex advice to brighten your lunchtime. This fabulous London trio provides a fun hour of rip-roaring laughter along with audience participation, the much loved fig rolls and a big bucket of love. Prepare to have your ribs tickled, your sides split, and your flabber gasted. What more could you need to start your day of comedy! 'The venue literally sways with entertainment' **** (ThreeWeeks). 'Thoroughly entertaining show' (Cornelius Lysaght, Radio 5 Live).

More details

A Comedian? A Magician? A Sex Therapist? AND a compere who dishes out fig rolls throughout the show? What's not to love! And what the hell has a Ferret got to do with things?

Featuring two very distinct regulars, The Ferrets are joined by a surprise guest act each day, handpicked from the best of the Fringe. This compilation show has something for everyone, blending stand-up, comedy magic, advice of a carnal nature, the aforementioned fig rolls, and plenty of quirkiness and fun.

Suitably bonkers compere, Paul Wogan, keeps the lunacy on a (loose) leash for The Ferrets' third year together at the Edinburgh Festival. He has performed stand-up for over a decade and first appeared at The Comedy Store in 1998. In 2012, he was a Finalist in Ealing Studio's 'The Stand Off' competition.

Welsh Sex Therapist and Cabaret Star, Cate Mackenzie - impeccably aided by her Love Fairies - treats Edinburgh audiences to her own unique brand of relationship advice. Sharing all the tips & tricks needed for a healthy love life, she'll also teach them how to love their genitals (and everybody else's!). "Cate is what we want" - Phil Kay.

Blending comedy and magic with absolute nonsense, Stu Turner's offbeat act is sometimes silly, sometimes surreal, but always baffling and highly entertaining. Having previously appeared with Bob Monkhouse, as well as being a regular at London's Her Majesty's Theatre Sunday concerts, Stu is looking forward to his fourth year at the Fringe, entertaining the festival crowds with his madcap antics.

The Ferrets formed at Edinburgh in 2012, though nobody knows quite how - and it's probably best not to ask. Bringing joy and mirth to the masses, they're back for a third year with a show that promises to be bigger and better than ever.
