50 Edinburgh shows picked by a true comedy lover
A bit of a change for our Edinburgh preview feature today. Rather than based on any theme, these are 50 shows chosen by comedy connoisseur Corry Shaw.
Corry Shaw, Chortle, 28th July 2022Review: The Guilty Feminist Live - Brighton Dome
This highly fun, yet overly jam packed night, almost feels like a mini festival.
Simon Topping, The Reviews Hub, 6th March 2022Review: Stay At Home Festival
When the coronavirus hit home last week there was a lot of talk about comedians setting up online gigs as their touring workload dropped off a cliff.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 24th March 2020Laugharne Weekend Festival saved
This year's Laugharne Weekend Festival will go ahead as planned. There was a risk that the future of the unique South Wales Festival was in jeopardy following the shock withdrawal of an annual £20,000 Arts Council grant, but a sucessful crowdfunding campaign and support from the Welsh Assembly has saved the day. The UK's quirkiest arts festival, running from 27 - 29 March, celebrates 13 years with leading artists, comedians, musicians, authors and poets.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 4th March 2020The LOL Word is transforming comedy
This queer collective proves there's a place for comedy that isn't straight or male with a heart-rendingly hilarious Edinburgh show.
Ella Braidwood, The Guardian, 8th August 2019Lefty Scum review

As echo chambers go, this is as warm as a lefty bubble (bath).
Andrew Allen, The Latest, 6th November 2017Josie Long & protest jokers serenading Labour faithful
Can funny songs change the world? Jonny & the Baptists and Grace Petrie join Josie Long for a spirited night of comedy that imagines nationalising the Queen's swans and banning Daily Mail readers from seeing their grandchildren.
Brian Logan, The Guardian, 2nd November 2017Comedians announce 'Lefty Scum' tour
Josie Long, Grace Petrie and musical duo Jonny & the Baptists have announced a triple-headline UK tour for autumn 2017.
British Comedy Guide, 20th June 2017Lolitics comedy club bans irony and stops banter
A London comedy club has banned ironic comments and 'banter' with the audience to create a 'safe space' for stand-up. But just make sure you are not a Conservative, as then you risk being called a 'racist bigot' a 'f****** monster' or even a 'f****** c***bag of a t***'.
