Edinburgh Fringe
Gyles Brandreth Can't Stop Talking!
He's back - and unstoppable. Gyles Brandreth can't stop talking. The jumper-loving This Morning and Just A Minute star, who pops up on Pointless, QI, Would I Lie To You?, Sunday Brunch, and Celebrity Gogglebox, has been babbling since he was a baby, and in his hilarious new one-man show, the award-winning raconteur tries to work out why. He's won the Audience Award for Most Popular Show on the Fringe, multiple five-star reviews and every time he's in Edinburgh, his shows sell out. Fast. Book now. 'Wildly funny' (Daily Mail). 'Absolute joy' (Scotsman). 'Genius' (Telegraph).
