2015 Edinburgh Fringe
Stand-Up Tragedy
'Takes in everything from music to comedy and is characterised by an emphasis on truth' (Independent). A variety show that explores tragedy. Comedians, musicians, storytellers and more combine into a different line-up every night and on Mondays we'll even have exciting special guest hosts. You can get an idea of what we're like by listening to our podcast. Look out for other Stand-Up Tragedy productions in PBH's Free Fringe Booklet. Past SUT acts have included Josie Long, Stewart Lee, Sara Pascoe, Grace Petrie, Eddie Pepitone, Robin Ince and Rob Auton.
