2014 Edinburgh Fringe
Sammy J: The Sammy J Songbook
Fringe favourite Sammy J thought it would be humorous to fly from Melbourne to Edinburgh, perform one show, then fly home. This is that show. Known and loved for his catchy, filthy, nerdy musical comedy stylings, Sammy J has stuffed his hand luggage full of his favourite songs, and plans to rock out for precisely 58 minutes before returning to the airport. If nobody laughs, it'll be a long flight home. 'An endlessly creative talent' (Time Out). 'Whiplash smart and laugh out loud funny, he is already a Fringe legend' (Herald).
