Pleasance

Admin

A brand-new stand-up show from the perennial Fringe favourite. As seen on QI, Room 101 and Live at the Apollo. As heard on BBC Radio 4's News Quiz and The Now Show. Always warm, witty and thought-provoking, this is Lucy's best show yet. She muses on what we receive from our ancestors and what we pass on to future generations. Lucy's inherited dodgy knees and global warming from her parents, but can she leave a better legacy for her children? 'Impeccably punch-lined anecdotes... genuinely delightful' (Telegraph). 'A treat from start to finish' (Herald).

Standups on their Edinburgh debuts

Bridget Christie got locked out, Nina Conti ran off with a monkey - and Reginald D Hunter begged his ex for help. Top comedians relive their first fringe gig.

The shows serious about accentuating the positives

Perhaps sensing that the news agenda has taken a dark turn, a number of shows are serious about accentuating the positive, writes David Pollock.

Lucy Porter: I took the credit and then I took the mic

The stand-up comedian staged early shows at the Edinburgh Fringe on tick, but the gamble paid off.

Lucy Porter muses about the importance of legacy

That's the theme of Lucy Porter's Edinburgh Festival show and you have to admit it's a belter.

Alan Shaw, The Sunday Post, 10th August 2018

Comedy safe from forced audience participation

I'm not a particularly anxious person, but I really, really hate audience participation.
