2014 Edinburgh Fringe
Prompter
An info-larious new show from Troy Conrad (creator of Set List: Stand-Up Without A Net). What will the Fringe's biggest and funniest performers say when their live autocue cuts out? Watch as they use everything in their comedy toolbox to improvise a demented, absurd TED Talk-style presentation from the broken teleprompter. Each time it goes blank, they must keep talking until the script reappears. Expect an outrageous comedy obstacle course laden with hilarious challenges and surprises. How much fun can be had with a supposedly faulty prompter? Loads, it turns out. Amazing line-ups every show.

i-on Magazine, 29th July 2014Outside 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.

A new show from Troy Conrad (creator of Set List: Stand-Up Without A Net).
The Fringe's best performers must improvise a demented, absurd TED Talk-style presentation from a "broken" teleprompter. When the prompter unexpectedly goes blank throughout the talk, they must improvise until the prompter comes back on.
A true comedy obstacle course, laden with graphics and diagrams, the comics must make sense of everything thrown at them. How much fun can be had with a supposedly "broken" teleprompter?
A lot, it turns out.
Great lineups every show. Not for the easily offended.
