Matt Rees: Happy Hour
Matt Rees returns to Edinburgh with his highly anticipated debut Happy Hour. The multi award-winning Welshman and sober drunk brings 60 minutes of 'very funny lines with a compelling, unforced lugubriousness' (Chortle.co.uk) from 'a properly original comedy mind' (Guardian). The deadpan rising star has won a whole host of awards including Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year and Leicester Square Comedian of The Year as well as being nominated for Chortle Best Newcomer. Matt has provided the UK tour support for Joe Lycett, Elis James, John Robins, Patrick Kielty and American stand-up Tig Notaro.
