2017 Edinburgh Fringe
Adam Hess: Cactus
Adam Hess appeared on Dave's Joke of the Fringe list again, thanks to his fine writing skills. This year he's brought his diaries along, charting his ill-advised ventures; from medical trials and affairs of the heart, to the dangers of rowing a boat along the Thames without proper supervision.
Edinburgh Comedy Award-nominated chap and star of Live at the Palladium, Live From the BBC and other stuff returns for another smash-hit show. He's five foot eleven, he hates other families' plates, and he had his 18th birthday party on a riverboat on the Thames so when people realised how boring it was they couldn't leave. 'I've seen few shows that are funnier' (Times). 'For good quality gags per minute, there is no better comedian on the Fringe' (Independent). 'One of the most out and out hilarious shows on the Fringe' ****1/2 (Chortle.co.uk).

How comedians come up with their Fringe shows
The Edinburgh Fringe is a vibrant melting pot of talent, a festival of comedy, theatre and art, and the root cause of many a comedian's filing for bankruptcy and/or the development of severe mental health issues.
