The Trough is an exceptional example of the absurd and the surreal. Campbell uses video clips and a variety of props to induce fits of laughter throughout the room. It is silly, nonsensical and simply brilliant.
The Edinburgh Festival Fringe (often referred to as simply The Fringe) is the world's largest arts festival, which in 2017 spanned 25 days and featured 53,232 performances of 3,398 shows in 300 venues. Established in 1947 as an alternative to the Edinburgh International Festival, it takes place annually in Edinburgh, Scotland, in the month of August. I am looking forward to coming over to perform! The show is at midnight so it should be outrageous.

Ian Cater, What's On London, 18th 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.
