2017 Edinburgh Fringe
Mae Martin: Dope
Mae Martin's show is one of the major word-of-mouth successes this year. It's a compendium of her obsessions; from Bette Midler, to performing stand-up, to much darker addictions. Mae steers us through them effortlessly with laughs aplenty and firm assurances of her recovery - it's OK, she even makes her own lasagnes now!
Hi guys, please come to my show. Here's the blurb about it. The star of Mae Martin's Guide to 21st Century Sexuality (BBC Radio 4) examines a lifetime of obsessions, fandom and addiction with 'effortlessly amusing, highly watchable charm' **** (Times). Mae shines a light on that one weird shrimp we all have in our brains that is happy to pursue short-term pleasure, despite knowing the long-term negative consequences. She asks: who are we when we're not addicted? 'Expertly splices comedy, opinion and enlightenment' (Guardian). 'Very funny' ***** (Chortle.co.uk). @TheMaeMartin

British Comedy Guide, 4th September 2017Laugh Out London's Edinburgh Fringe comedy awards 2017
It's that time again. The fringe is almost over. The pubs of Edinburgh can go back to being pubs, Lee Nelson's face can stop blocking the view of Edinburgh Castle and the Edinburgh recycling plant will be busy turning flyers into mulch. So without further a do lets give out the least prestigious awards of the year, the Laugh Out London Comedy awards (or the LOLies)...
Laugh Out London, 25th August 2017How comedians come up with their Fringe shows
The Edinburgh Fringe is a vibrant melting pot of talent, a festival of comedy, theatre and art, and the root cause of many a comedian's filing for bankruptcy and/or the development of severe mental health issues.
