Exciting Scottish comic brings joy to the Fringe

Bursting with upbeat charm, effervescent comedian Andrew Sim brings his first 45 minutes to the Edinburgh Fringe. Sim promises an exuberant experience which takes on the elusive subject of joy. His travels around America, family trauma, and exploration of his own pansexual identity provide the backdrop for a show that looks for happiness and laughter everywhere.

Sim's wit and enthusiasm presents a beautiful show full of laughs and thoughtful stupidity. Injecting some much needed happiness into the comedy world, Sim's uplifting songs, improvisations and story-telling make his first solo-show a vital viewing this Fringe Festival. Energetic, joyous and hilarious, he bucks the trend in dour humour often associated with Scottish comedy and instead presents something more hopeful even when tackling dark topics.

An introduction to one of the most exciting young minds in comedy Andrew Sim has performed all over the world, and been at the forefront of some of the most exciting new international comedy events, including the launch of the brand new Icelandic comedy festival in 2017. Sim has been performing comedy since 2012 and has also run experimental comedy workshops in Edinburgh. Sim will be joined by a different friend opening the show each day.
