Alfie Brown is charming and disgusting. His new show is about identity politics, trying to be a good father in a horrible world and being responsibly horny in the wake of wide-spread male sex crimes. He provides no answers, only questions. Society's new-found fondness for moral certainty is the subject of a search and destroy mission by Brown. They were wrong all along, it turns out if you believe in something, you'll fall for anything. 'Quite simply the future of British stand-up' ***** (List). 'A British Doug Stanhope' **** (Guardian).

Opinion: 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.
