2015 Edinburgh Fringe
George Egg: Anarchist Cook
One man. One hour. Three courses. Comedian George Egg is also a fanatical cook with an anarchic approach to making meals. Finding himself dissatisfied with the quality of hotel room service while touring the comedy clubs of the world, George embarks on a project to take matters into his own surprisingly capable hands. Come see him serve up a surreal and absurd mix of stand-up comedy and striking innovation, in an unforgettable demonstration of extreme multitasking. Total sell-out Brighton Fringe 2014, Best Comedy Show nominee Brighton Fringe 2014. 'Utterly charming ... hugely inventive' (Times).

Radio Times, 15th August 2015Fringe flu
I'm utterly exhausted. My nose is streaming, and I'm going through toilet roll like a 14 year old boy going for the record. This is what happens when you spend just 5 days at the Edinburgh festival.

As of yesterday afternoon, one show will certainly not get her review because it was "not ready to be seen".

Matthew Dunne-Miles, WOW247, 27th July 2015Fringe 10x10 - 2. Ten circuit stalwarts
Over the years a divide has grown between 'Edinburgh acts' and 'circuit acts'. The latter get often difficult rooms full of people howling with laughter over 20-minute set every Friday and Saturday night, but often don't get the critical acclaim of the festival darlings, who typically use their hours to offer something more emotional, theatrical or artistically daring. Some acts straddle both camps, of course, but here we present ten Edinburgh-bound acts known more for their work in the clubs than at the Fringe, but who've certainly proved their abilities in front of audiences over the years...

George Egg is a stand-up comedian and a passionate cook with an anarchic approach to making meals. Dissatisfied with the quality of room service food while touring the UK's comedy clubs George embarks on a project to take matters into his own hands. This is a surreal mix of stand-up comedy, striking innovation and extreme multitasking. Whilst performing an hour of stand-up comedy George prepares a three course meal using just the equipment you'll find in a hotel room. And if you want to, you can taste it at the end.
As a professional and sought-after comedian for the last two decades, George Egg has performed internationally taking his absurd brand of far-reaching humour to Germany, Switzerland, Holland, Belgium, Spain, Austria, France, Hong Kong and even India, both on stage and on the television, as well as being the support act for Lee Mack, Micky Flanagan and Jack Dee.
