2019 Edinburgh Fringe
Aaron Simmonds: Disabled Coconut
![Recommended by Comedy.co.uk](https://cdn.comedy.co.uk/images/graphics/fringe/recommended.png)
In his debut Fringe show, Aaron Simmonds demonstrates expert storytelling whilst packing jokes and opportunities for mirth into every moment. Showcasing an honest approach to dating with a disability, Simmonds is definitely one to watch and is destined for greater things in the future.
Join the BBC New Comedy Award finalist and wheelchair enthusiast as he tells you about how his first paid gig led to him performing on BBC2 a year later, and what happens when you are being trolled online for not being disabled enough. Aaron is far better at stand-up than standing up and his unique perspective on life - usually of people's belly buttons - gives him a distinctive edge in his performances as well as a sore neck. Jewish Comedian of the Year 2017. 'A class act' (Chortle.co.uk).

Chortle, 16th August 20198 white dues worth seeing at the 2019 Fringe
Anyone who has ever read a listicle in Chortle will have a decent impression of how white and male comedy is as an industry. It can be difficult, when faced with such overwhelming hegemony, to tell which shows are going to be brilliant compared to the ones that are just someone complaining about living life on easy mode.
