2019 Edinburgh Fringe
Simon Munnery: Alan Parker Urban Warrior Farewell Tour
Simon Munnery's ineffectual anarchist, a brilliant 90s parody of 80s left-wing activists, is back. He seems more relevant than ever in today's woke climate as he hectors his 'comrades' on his distrust of technology, delivers some beautiful one liners and offers a radical solution to climate change.
Once the most radical, now the only radical. The bedsit anarchist returns with the old gold, the old truths and some new truths (based on the old truths). 'Gloriously inept radical anorak' (Times). 'Marx, Engels and Sid Vicious would all have died laughing!' (Guardian). 'A stand-up comedian of brilliance' (Scotsman).

Simon Munnery interview
After health issues and a job in a chicken factory, this comic pioneer is back where he belongs.
Stephen Armstrong, The Times, 28th July 2019Preview: Been there, done that, back & doing it again
There's a school of thought that the Edinburgh Fringe is a Young Person's Game. But actually in recent years it has become an older person's game too. Maybe they are the baby boomer generation who can afford to lose a few grand every August or maybe they just love the thrill of the Fringe and the art of stand-up. Whatever the reasons here are some comedians who know the game inside out and are the collective epitome of a safe pair of comedy hands. And no, they are not listed in descending order of chronology. We'll not be having any age before beauty here. Some of them might not be doing a full Fringe run, but at their age I think we can allow them a few days off. Click on their names for their dates and ticket details.
