John Kearns: Don't Worry They're Here
The only winner of the Best Show and Best Newcomer Edinburgh Comedy Awards returns for an encore of his 2017 critically acclaimed hit. Don't Worry They're Here has enjoyed sell-out seasons in London, Melbourne and a nationwide tour. 'Roaringly funny' **** (Scotsman). 'Richly idiosyncratic comedy' **** (Guardian). 'Funny and intellectually ambitious' ***** (Evening Standard). 'A monologue about everyday absurdities, rooted in mundane conversations. It's droll and distinctive - but also full-on hilarious' ****1/2 (Chortle.co.uk). Directed by Jon Brittain.

John Kearns on ditching his trademark wig and teeth
If British comedy has a soul, it resides in Edinburgh. The wet streets, overheated rooms and frantic commercial business of the Fringe can blind you to this -- you can forget that Alan Bennett, Peter Cook, most of Monty Python, Rowan Atkinson, Tom Stoppard, Stephen Fry, The League of Gentlemen, Ricky Gervais and almost every comedian you've heard of kick-started their career right here. None, however, has started as spectacularly as John Kearns.
