2022 Edinburgh Fringe
Christian Brighty: Playboy
Lord Christian Brighty is the country's most notorious rake. He puts the pro in reprobate, the don in hedonism, and the key in chastity belts. But when this saucy libertine falls for a Duchess, can he reform himself? Forget Bridgerton. Forget Austen. This is the greatest love story you'll ever laugh at. Prepare to swoon for the debut solo show from TikTok's answer to Mr Darcy (@brightybuoy). Best New Show nominee, Leicester Comedy Festival 2022. Sketch Off 2022 - third place. 'Hilarious' (List). 'Very silly' (Time Out). 'Talent and quick wit' (Scotsman). 'Genius' ***** (MumbleComedy.net).
