Observing the little traditional conventions in life - one pink sock for Michaelmas day, keeping toenail clippings in a separate jar from fingernails, cream first, then jam, then bacon - is what separates us from the animals. It gives life shape, meaning, and odour. Whether any of this appears in the show is of course, at this point, moot. It may just be an ill-advised attempt to lose weight by eating only olive oil and balsamic vinegar. 'Magnificently pessimistic' **** (List). 'Unfashionable... slightly mad' **** (Chortle.co.uk) 'Masterclass in socio-political comedy' ***** (Scotsman).

The funny jobs Fringe comedians did before comedy

Heard the one about the comic who works in suicide prevention - or the joker who sold bathroom interiors while dreaming of stand-up?

What about the funnyman who served as a bouncer for William and Kate? Or the one who honed his comic craft writing letters to adult magazines?

They're all among some of the UK's top comedians who have descended on Edinburgh to impress critics and crowds at the Festival Fringe.
