2015 Edinburgh Fringe

More details

My name is George Zach and this Edinburgh Fringe I will be the only Greek born and raised comic at the Edinburgh Festival. My show is called Greek Tragedy. This is my press release!

Let's do an imaginary Q&A:

No offence, but are you any good?

I am a professional comedian, playing for the biggest clubs in the country. I have also supported Luisa Omielan in her Am I Right Ladies tour.

Last March I did a sold out show at the Melbourne Comedy Festival.

I have also appeared on BBC One, as part of the panel on This Week.

So... yes. I am worth seeing

How about PR? Do you not have a PR person?

PR? YOU THINK I CAN AFFORD THAT???
Christ. I said I am funny, not "successful".

Right. So what is the show about?

When I was a little boy I almost died because of a heart condition and I was lucky enough to not only survive but have the Make A Wish Foundation fulfil a wish of mine. It taught me many lessons on how to approach life, family, relationships and how to generally not be afraid of looking stupid. I have dodged my national service and to the Greek army I am a wanted criminal. This is a show about who I am, what my comedy is like and some of the best routines I perform in my set.

With it being a free show I shall be asking for money. Now I know that a Greek person asking for money is very unoriginal-almost hack, but I hope you look past that!

Cool. I will definitely come. Where and when is it?

Cowgatehead, at 14:45. Not much for you to do at that time, so take a chance on me. I would love to see you there!

Anything else you would like to add?

Here is a clip of me in action-if you are the sort of person who enjoys spoilers.
