2022 Edinburgh Fringe
Chloe Petts: Transience
Everyone is having a lot of fun here: plenty of jokes dissect identity politics but there's always a super punchline at the end. Chloe Petts is at ease and fully in control of proceedings at all times.
Join rising star and 'very funny' (Guardian) Chloe Petts, as she presents her debut show at the Edinburgh Fringe. A brilliantly sharp live performer and 'compelling presence' (Steve Bennett - Chortle), she is one of the most exciting acts on the UK scene. Fresh from supporting Ed Gamble on his UK Tour, Petts uses her trademark cerebral "laddishness" to explore topics as far reaching as the darts and her (strictly non-romantic) love for the men who watch it. As seen on Hypothetical (Dave), Jonathan Ross' Comedy Club (ITV) and The Stand-Up Sketch Show (ITV2).
