Admin

In a thrilling, last-minute addition, Simon Amstell will return to the Edinburgh Fringe for the first time in six years to perform a late-night show of new stand-up material for a possibly forthcoming tour. 'The undisputed king of the stand-up confessional' (Evening Standard). 'Simon Amstell has a gift for taking a social norm and gently mocking it until it seems utterly ridiculous' (New York Times). 'No one zeros in on human comedy... quite like Simon Amstell. He's palpably having a great time. As indeed are his audience' (Guardian).
