2022 Edinburgh Fringe
Simon Brodkin: Screwed Up
World-famous prankster and Lee Nelson creator Simon Brodkin returns with a blistering new stand-up show ripping into his ADHD diagnosis, I'm A Celebrity rejection, barmitzvah humiliation, five arrests and one sex party. Simon's last Fringe show (100% Simon Brodkin) was completely sold out and selected by The Guardian and the Evening Standard as one of their Best Comedy Shows. 'Hilarious' **** (Scotsman). 'There aren't many better comedians' **** (Telegraph). 'Stupid tosser' (Boris Johnson).
