Stephen Fry asked Alex Edelman to assist him with his BAFTA scripts, so he should be good. And he is. From self labelled 'stupid jokes', to a strange tale involving his subversive act of infiltrating the 'hard right', it's a well produced and consistently funny show.
Edinburgh Comedy Award winner Alex Edelman returns to Edinburgh with his third solo show. It's about jigsaw-loving Nazis and tribalism. Come. In the last year alone, Edelman has performed on Conan, supported Beck and Ricky Gervais and saw his special, Live At The BBC, released on Netflix UK. A Boston native, NYC dweller, this millennial posterboy is wise beyond his years, remarkably self-assured and at the top of his game. He's still Jewish. Hope that's OK. 'Boasting technical flair and a precocious authority, Edelman's comedy manages to capture the voice of Generation Y' (Guardian).

Ryan Gilbey, The Guardian, 13th August 2018Opinion: Edinburgh Comedy Awards - Predictions
It's what I'd like to see on the list. There are over a thousand comedy shows in Edinburgh. I've barely scratched the surface. But I'd also say if you are in Edinburgh or see these shows below coming to your town bag a ticket. Even if they don't win any awards I don't think you'll be disappointed.
