The Anarchist Cook returns with another demonstration of resourcefulness, innovation and absurdity. If you like food then you'll like this. New material, new methods and a whole new menu; and of course, you get to taste it all at the end. Sell-out shows 2015 and 2016. Spirit of the Fringe Award Winner 2015. 'A genius... he is the friendly face of anarchy, the anarchic face of food and the foodie face of comedy' (Scotland on Sunday).

For those going to Edinburgh the brilliantly funny George Egg is back with a new show. Previously he did an hour of stand-up about cooking in hotel rooms, using only a Corby trouser press. Now the DIY cook is in the garden shed using power tools including wallpaper strippers. And he does cook real food during the performance.
