Following a host of sell-out shows and hot on the heels of last year's debut, Couple's Massage, Scottish comedian and writer Richard Cobb returns to the track with a brand-new hour filled with more guilt-tripped and incredibly stressful anecdotes. The honeymoon is over and the running shoes are on. But can he really win the Edinburgh Marathon? 'I've been going to the Fringe for 25 years or so and genuinely this is the most impressive full debut I've seen from a stand up' (Audience review). 'He has an easy affable charm' (Lancaster Guardian).

Unfiltered #1 - The reality of getting Fringe ready with Richard Cobb: Running Joke
When tipping the jigsaw box upside down and attempting to assemble a new Fringe hour without any idea what the end picture is meant to resemble, it's easy to look at what others on the circuit are doing and reach for the oxygen mask.
Richard Cobb, The Quintessential Review, 7th July 2024Funny At The Fringe - Richard Cobb: Running Joke
"The central theme is about running last year's Edinburgh Marathon but it's mainly about setting myself daft personal challenges over the years and pushing myself to the limit but struggling with the balance of being wildly competitive and hard on myself when things go a bit pear-shaped."
