Best comedy shows at the Edinburgh Fringe 2017
We pick out the must-see comedy shows that are already giving us goosebumps of excitement.
Brian Donaldson, The List, 11th July 2017How comedy captured the Edinburgh Fringe: part 2
Our first instalment of this series covered over three decades, when the Edinburgh Fringe was almost without comedians at all. Now in Part Two, we find one year alone - 1981 - influences comedy more than all the previous Fringes put together.
Ben Venables, The Skinny, 6th June 2017Fry's delight
Quizmaster Stephen Fry is joined by two of his best buddies in this week's QI. It's a real luvvie fest, thanks to the presence of John Sessions, who's appeared on the show several times before, and first-timer Emma Thompson. She and Fry go way back, of course. They met at Cambridge, and were members of the famous Footlights troupe, which also included Tony Slattery and Hugh Laurie. They've appeared on screen together in such projects as Alfresco and Peter's Friends.
