Judi Love to host ITVX's live Edinburgh Fringe shows
Judi Love has been named as the host of ITVX Presents: Live Comedy From The Edinburgh Fringe, the four hour-long stand-up shows which will broadcast directly from the festival this August.
The producers say: "Viewers can tune in for a real Edinburgh experience, broadcasting live from a venue at the heart of the Fringe with new line-ups each night featuring some of the most exciting comics and breakthrough stars of 2024.
"The breakthrough slots are currently 'open' and will be decided once the fringe is up and running to make sure our audiences get to see some of the most exciting and impactful acts of Edinburgh Fringe 2024.
"Audiences will be immersed into the anarchic and irreverent atmosphere as if they were in the rooms themselves - all streamed live on ITVX, and available to catch-up for 30 days afterwards."
Judi Love says: "If you can't make it in person to the Edinburgh Fringe do not worry as we're bringing it straight into your homes. You'll be able to watch stand-up comedy, live from Edinburgh from your sofa! I'm truly excited to be hosting these four nights and sharing this experience with all these talented acts."
Nana Hughes, ITV's Head of Comedy, comments: "The comedy madness of the Edinburgh Fringe delivered with a lot of love, Judi Love!... What more could you want this summer?"
The streaming will be overseen by NextUp, with the shows running Wednesday 21st to Saturday 24th at 10:30pm from theSpace @ Surgeons' Hall. Those who will be in the city can apply for £10 tickets
