On Christmas Eve last year Gavin Webster had his finest hour. He was told that he had been awarded UK Comedian's Comedian for 2014. It was a major shock because most comedy critics have written words to the effect that he's hopeless and should pack it in. So in tribute to that wonderful unexpected moment Webster will bestow himself loads of unlikely but self-indulgent awards including ones he doesn't necessarily want. 'Funny, clever and as brilliantly observed as you'll find' (Scotsman). 'Very few stand-ups will be as palpably funny as this' ***** (Sunday Herald).

Paul Sinha, 9th August 2015Fringe 10x10 - 2. Ten circuit stalwarts

Some acts straddle both camps, of course, but here we present ten Edinburgh-bound acts known more for their work in the clubs than at the Fringe, but who've certainly proved their abilities in front of audiences over the years...
Chortle, 21st July 20159 North East comics you need to see at the Fringe
The Fringe is lovely, isn't it? People from all around the globe descending on the historic city, bringing culture and worldly wonders galore. Still though, there's no place like home. If you're a Geordie, a Mackem, a Smoggy, or any other variety of North-Eastern beast in Edinburgh, pining for a taste of God's Country, here's a gaggle of outstanding local talent to sate you. Brown Ale and chicken parmo not included.
