A delightfully comical collection of silly rants on almost every ludicrous topic imaginable takes you on a riotous exploration of our laughable existence, from the mind-numbingly tedious to the charmingly absurd. Multi-talented Phil Nichol, in this, his 14th solo show at the Fringe, laughs at almost everything, from the guys who help you wash your hands in public toilets to the global banking crisis and anything in between. It's possibly the funniest show that has ever been written by a master of exaggeration. Comedy with passion. 'Hypnotic' ***** (Sunday Herald). 'Delightfully silly' **** (List).

Multi-talented, award-winning, festival animal Phil Nichol is back at this year's Fringe - his 14th solo show there - with Phil Nichol RANTS! It's a delightfully comical collection of silly rants on almost every topic imaginable. Festival veteran and previous Edinburgh Comedy Award Winner (2006) Phil laughs at everything from the guys who help you wash your hands in the public toilets, to the global banking crisis and anything in-between. He'll take you on a riotous exploration of our laughable existence, from the mind-numbingly tedious to the charmingly absurd. Comedy with Passion!

This Festival Phil will also be starring in the Comedians Theatre Company production of the new play The Intervention by Dave Florez (Fringe First winner 2011), with an all star cast. Phil recently starred as Terry Gilliam in BBC Four's BAFTA nominated Holy Flying Circus; a one-off comedy drama, it's a fantastical re-imagining of the controversy surrounding the release of Monty Python's 1979 film Life Of Brian.
