Last year, Darren Dundee right thing and adopted the love child of the Loch Ness monster and a werewolf. This year he's trying to raise a were-Ness. If you're at a Leith end at Edinburgh, thistle be worth a loch. After publishing his first book of over 1000 jokes, Darren debuts his Firth fool-length stand-up show, combining animations, one-liners, videos, sound effects, drawings, ad-libbing and surreal nonsense. 'Very funny' (Kate Copstick, Scotsman). 'A tall guy with a big talent for short jokes' **** (Stage). 'Undoubtedly a Milton Jones in the making' (ThreeWeeks). **** (BroadwayBaby.com).

After publishing his first book Cheep Laughs, encompassing four misspent years of scribbling and doodling with over 1000 jokes inside, Darren debuts his Firth fool-length stand-up show at the Edinburgh Fringe, combining animations, one-liners, videos, sound effects, drawings, ad-libbing and surreal nonsense in Punderbolt.

Darren Walsh has been drawing cartoons and telling silly jokes since childhood. In 2014, he put those skills to good use by becoming Britain's inaugural Pun Champion.
