Seven questions with... Njambi McGrath
Njambi McGrath is an incredibly powerful stand up performer because her comedy comes from a deeply personal place and she is able to turn it into something creatively stimulating and, of course, funny. Having grown up in Kenya, Njambi presents an insight into a completely different and unknown culture for many a Britain-born audience member, and this, for me, is what makes stand up comedy refreshing and exciting. McGrath brings her latest show 1 Last Dance with My Father to this year's Edinburgh Festival.

British Comedy Guide, 12th August 2016Seven questions with... Hayley Ellis
Mancunian comic Hayley Ellis presents a very relatable style of stand up comedy, with sharp twists and turns that give her material that extra punch. She is likeable and self-deprecating, working to ensure that she is on the same level as her audience, which in turn makes audiences far more receptive. Hayley returns to the festival this year with her latest show, FOMO, (That's 'Fear Of Missing Out' to you and I).

He is already a big name in the US, having hosted The Chris Gethard Show since 2011, as well as starring in Parks and Recreation and America's The Office. Chris brings his show Career Suicide to the Fringe, where he proves there can be a funnier side to difficult topics such as alcoholism and depression.
Becca Moody, Moody Comedy, 11th August 2016Seven questions with... Dave Chawner
Dave Chawner is an immediately likeable stand up performer, perhaps due to the unrelenting honesty he presents to audiences at his shows, disarming himself entirely and in turn making himself vulnerable on stage. This openness allows Chawner to explore seemingly taboo topics that happen to be close to his heart, such as the issue of anorexia in men, and his latest Edinburgh show, which explores issues associated with circumcision, sex and relationships.
Becca Moody, Moody Comedy, 11th August 2016Seven questions with... Twins
Twins are Jack Barry and Annie McGrath, a sketch duo known for their silly and childish style of comedy that epitomises the idea of escapism within entertainment. These two make a marvellous pair, with their contrasting personalities producing an interesting comedic energy within performance, and with elements of surrealism and absurdity giving their material a refreshing twist. Barry and McGrath bring their latest show Two Balls In A Bag to this year's Edinburgh Festival.
