The standups joking about each other
Comedians rarely repeat material by their peers. But plenty of comics are referencing each other at this year's fringe - for good and ill.
Brian Logan, The Guardian, 20th August 2015More details
Returning to the Edinburgh Fringe for a 3rd consecutive year. It's the show where comedians perform their own jokes and then each others'.
In August 2014 the show recorded it's very own pilot for BBC2 and is continuing to go from strength to strength in 2015. The beginning of the year saw the show embark on a World Tour, playing to packed houses in Australia, Iceland, Singapore, Hong Kong Manila and the UK. It has also continued to flourish with regular club shows at The Stand, Edinburgh, Downstairs at the King's Head, London and let's not go forgetting the new regular show at Broadway Comedy Club, New York.
