Outside the comfort zone
As a fresh crop of ingenious formats dares comics to show us what they're really made of, Fest meets the people throwing down the gauntlet. There's no filter, no script - and no guessing what could happen.

Andrew Mickel, Such Small Portions, 23rd July 2014Edinburgh Fringe preview: It Might Get Ugly
I've got slight misgivings about recommending a show that I've never seen where the blurb boldly claims it is about to "take Edinburgh Festival Fringe by storm". But this might be an interesting one.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 23rd June 2014More details
The show that challenges comedians to be honest to the point of regret.
Already an established comedy night in both London and Copenhagen, It Might Get Ugly has seen an impressive host of comedians bare their souls to unsuspecting, captivated audiences, including Harry Hill, Bridget Christie, Brett Goldstein, Romesh Ranganathan, John Kearns, Sara Pascoe, Carl Donnelly, Liam Williams and Aisling Bea amongst others.
With an equally high standard of acts lined up for each night at the Fringe, hosted by the enchantingly eccentric Karl Schultz, every show is set to break the boundaries of what has come to be expected of a comedy night.
Comedians agree to waive from their usual material and come to the stage with a nervousness that ensues in to veracious hilarity, sometimes embarrassment, and a unified sense that something special has been shared. It is an unmissable, unpredictable and inspiring way to spend a late evening in the hub of an Arts Festival, but just to warn you... It Might Get Ugly.
