Admin

The UK's leading political comedian and host of Unspun presents a show completely changed by events which haven't yet happened. Ultra-topical comedy as seen on The Royal Variety Performance, Mock The Week, The One Show and Question Time. Now with added Trump. 'Possibly the best political comedy show on the Fringe' ***** (Telegraph). 'A first-class comic' (Guardian). 'Singlehandedly fulfilling comedy's brief of taking our political masters to task. Combining spot-on impressions with up-to-the-minute observations' **** (Mail on Sunday).

How Trump invaded the Fringe

Well, where else would you find Donald Trump in Edinburgh? Located in the heart of the city, the Bruntsfield Links is one of the oldest golf courses in the world, dating back to at least the time of James IV.

Here are ten shows from comedians who've built up their fan base with podcasts - some are taping new episodes in Edinburgh, others doing their stand-up shows, and some are doing both.
