Becca Moody, Moody Comedy, 4th July 2017The Edinburgh Interviews 2017: Tom Allen

Becca Moody, Moody Comedy, 2nd July 2017The Edinburgh interviews 2017: Dan Antopolski
With a show entitled Return of Dan Antopolski, it might not surprise punters to hear that Dan Antopolski hasn't been seen at the Edinburgh Festival for a while. In fact, it's been seven years since Dan's last show. And seeing as he was once nominated for Best Newcomer and Best Show in the same year, Antopolski's return to Edinburgh is certainly going to turn a few heads. He is performing at Assembly George Square Studios throughout August.

Becca Moody, Moody Comedy, 16th June 2017May Comedian of the Month #40, Guz Khan
Guz Khan is a Brummie comedian (well he's from Coventry, at least), so maybe that's why I feel a personal connection to his comedy, and to him. After all, I first came across Khan at a fundraising event for Crisis at Birmingham Glee Club. But while this fun night of charity promoting and laughter is how I came to know of Guz, many others have become aware of him through his YouTube videos, as this video urging people to boycott Jurassic World went viral.
