2013 Edinburgh Fringe
Doc Brown
The international rapper turned comedian Doc Brown is back with his tongue in cheek take on hip-hop culture. Fresh from supporting Ricky Gervais around the world, and appearances on Russell Howard's Good News, The Inbetweeners, Rev, Derek and The Office Revisited, Doc is a must-see act. 'If Brown keeps mining this rich seam of hip-hop comedy, his fame should look after itself'. (Guardian). 'A seamless mix of truly inspired hip-hop and stand-up. He's a total star an utter joy' (Time Out).
