2017 Edinburgh Fringe
Phill Jupitus: Achtung!/Acting!
Like a hirsute Frankenstein, Phill Jupitus digs up and revives the two breakout stars of 2014's You're Probably Wondering Why I've Asked You Here, stage legend Vernon Herschel Harley and German WWII U-boat ace Korvettenkäpitan Kurt Schiffer. Over the course of a worryingly intimate hour, these two seasoned storytellers will edify, educate and entertain, with yarns, indiscretions and that most zeitgeisty of things: facts. Stagecraft, whales, the Golden Age of Hollywood, depth charges, Douglas Fairbanks[/l], icebergs, Meryl Streep, puffins, the Teamsters, Admiral Döenitz... what won't these guys talk about! Any historical accuracy entirely coincidental.

Stars from comedy's punk past return to Fringe
They were at the vanguard of political comedy. Now Alexei Sayle, Craig Ferguson and Sue Perkins are heading back to the festival, as it celebrates its 70th birthday.
