Like scientists of old, optimistically firing dogs into space, Cosmonauts are launching their alternative sketch comedy. High-energy idiocy from acclaimed comedy group, LUCI. 'Terrific' (YorkVision.co.uk). 'Top quality comedy' (Scan.lusu.co.uk). It's all fun and games until the oxygen runs out.

More details

Cosmonauts is a raucous, alternative, late-night sketch show, running as part of the Free Fringe with Laughing Horse in the Attic at the Counting House (Venue 170), 1am, from 1st to the 12th of August.

A man who has lived his entire life in the void of space takes wild guesses at what life on Earth must be like. His half-baked, dead wrong ideas take on the form of surreal, high-energy sketches, and introduce us to a world where deadbeat dads are acclaimed scientists, earnest Fifties teens meet with brutal justice, and the constant threat of being beaten up by space bullies looms.

Directed by stand-ups Edmund Colley and Jack Nicholls, and starring and written by members of the Lancaster University Comedy Institute (LUCI) - Rhianna Tomlinson, Daryl Griffin, Henry Banks, Will Salter, Dave Duncan, Tom Clements and the directors - the show swerves the clichés of student comedy with a honed hour of alternative comedy.

Silly while offering rounded characters, dark without being a lazy checklist of 'edgy' topics, Cosmonauts is the perfect way to round off a night at the Fringe.
