The Stand announces Edinburgh shows and new deal for artists

With growing noise about the extortionate costs of the Edinburgh Fringe for artists, The Stand - Edinburgh's best full-time, year-round comedy club - is listening. Founded on the basis of a fair deal for artists and committed to that promise ever since, The Stand's first announcement of Edinburgh Fringe shows in 2023 comes with the news that their deal has been revised to drop venue hire costs and not increase ticket prices.

Review: Comedy Garden, Bristol

Does a festival truly exist without mud? Another rainy evening in June, another chance to traipse through the boggy grounds of Queen Square in search of laughs at the Comedy Garden. Featuring Milton Jones, Richard Herring, Shappi Khorsandi and Danny Bhoy.

Review: Danny Bhoy

This is not his best show - that honour may belong to 2012's Dear Epson, a series of gripes penned to various companies and read aloud on stage - but there's still plenty to chuckle at as Bhoy takes aim at Australia's rate of leadership change, the Scottish referendum, and even Princess Diana (still too soon, he concurs).

Comedy review: Danny Bhoy

On the anniversary of one of their worst days, Danny Bhoy wanted to make Cantabrians at his show smile.

Marc Greenhall, Stuff.co.nz, 22nd February 2016

A nice-seeming sort of bloke, does work for charity - John Bishop epitomises the Live at the Apollo school of comedian and Christmas TV favourite. Yet, while his act - observational material about family life, male archetypes and so on - is pretty cosy stuff, there's a bite to his delivery that could cause a certain amount of discomfort on the sofa. This third variety/comedy festive show features comic support from Sarah Millican and Danny Bhoy, comic songs from Andy Askins - and a duet between Bishop and Kylie Minogue.
