If you want to see a masterclass in acting, we're not sure where you should go. But if you want to see a masterclass in parodying a masterclass in acting, Jon Pointing (as Cayden Hunter) is your man. It's hard not to think 'David Brent' at times, but this is a show that's clearly been finely tuned over time and is perfectly executed.


In this much anticipated debut show, Jon Pointing presents Cayden Hunter, an actor who will demonstrate the importance of selflessness and sharing through this (non-participatory) workshop. 'Keenly observed and impeccably performed' **** (Chortle.co.uk). As seen on BBC Three's Pls Like.

Jon Pointing: Edinburgh Fringe 2017 interview

Jon came to our attention in the brilliant Pls Like, a BBC Three gem written by Liam Williams that spoofed the impenetrable world of YouTubers. He's taking those acting skills to the Fringe this year where he plays Cayden Hunter, an esteemed actor now teaching the artform in a workshop.

21 sketch, character, clown recommendations

Looking for something more than conventional stand-up comedy at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2017? Don't worry, there are loads of idiots out there pretending to be other people, or conjuring up imaginary worlds or playing with props and people in fun, inventive ways.
