2015 Edinburgh Fringe
Marcus Brigstocke: Why the Long Face?
I was born with a long face and now there's UKIP and Putin and being single and Islamic State and George Osborne and Paul Dacre of the Daily bastard Mail and tax dodging corporations and the bloody election and did I mention being single? Come to this show - last time there was a fire and almost no one died! Award-winning comedian with a funny new show. 'Rare is the stand-up show that makes you laugh, think and then fight back the tears. This is it' **** (Daily Telegraph).
