Smart. That's the word to describe this hour. Luke Smith - AKA Frank Foucault - presents a surreal and very funny show that's particularly hard to describe. Think David Lynch meets James Acaster, with doppelgängers, a story centring on James Corden and the best strip tease we've ever seen.
Thump. James Corden hears a thump underneath his chat-show desk. Thump. It's the evening before the start of his American talk-show career. Thump. This is not a stand-up show. Thump. But it's written and created by my stand-up comedy persona. Thump. I understand that's confusing. Thump. I hope you enjoy it. Thump. Thump. Love. Thump. Thump. Ego. Thump. Thump. Death. Thump. Thump. Sex. Thump. Thump. The Desk. 'Baffling and daring' **** (BroadwayBaby.com). 'A tiny work of comic genius' (Scotsman). 'His real name is Luke Smith' (Steve Bennett, Chortle.co.uk).

The Scotsman critics' best comedy shows to see
This is a comprehensive list of the best comedy shows at this year's Fringe so that your time and money really is all but guaranteed to pay dividends in belly laughs, groans and fits of giggles.
Ross McIndoe, The Scotsman, 18th August 2019+3 interview: Frank Foucault: Desk
"I watched Love Island for the first time. I have no idea why I'd never seen it before. If you're resisting it, just watch one episode. It's blown me away. It's like watching Breaking Bad or Twin Peaks for the first time. It simultaneously presents the absolute worst and absolute best aspects of humanity."
Dan Lentell, Edinburgh49, 12th August 2019Performances
