Fringe Q&A: What do your parents think?
We asked some of the comedians heading up to the Fringe how many times their parents have seen them perform. Some acts have very supportive mums and dads it would appear... but not everyone in this list can say that.

Elliot Gonzalez, I Talk Telly, 29th July 2018Fringe Q&A: What are you putting in your suitcase?
A hazmat suit, a horse's head, a Mr Miyagi doll, five kilos of dried super-long spaghetti, and Immodium - just some of the things that comedians are putting in their suitcases ahead of getting on planes and trains bound for the Edinburgh Festival.

Wrigley Worm, FringePig, 6th July 2018Edinburgh 2018: pick of the programme - comedy
That time of year is upon us again! With over 3,000 of shows in the Edinburgh Festival Fringe programme it can be overwhelming choosing what to see, so we've selected our top picks from the comedy section.
Natalie O'Donoghue, Broadway World, 6th June 2018More details
The star of Channel 4's Lee And Dean returns to Edinburgh with her fifth solo-show, after the success of last year's sell-out Bitchelors.
Morris presents a mash-up of her favourite creations including her infamous Bridezilla creation Georgina Francis (as seen on Comic Relief's Bride Aid), Taylor Tyler (as seen on Beano.com's School of Fashion), Jane Doe the bake-off finalist with a dark secret and J'anene the cruise ship host of post Brexit Budget Cruise ship The Bombastic.
Morris creates a distinct and unique interactive world for each character, taking the audience on a journey from holidaymakers on the cruise from hell, to guests at a catastrophic wedding, to the TV audience of cruel fashion TV show What the F*ck is She Wearing? to the customers of a very dodgy bakery...
Her creations are strong women who defy stereotypes and harbour deep flaws in their quest to have it all. As per her signature style over her previous four shows, Morris places the audience at the centre of the experience, destroying the fourth wall and fearlessly making everyone feel like part of the show.
