Top comedy shows for 2020

A funny feast of fun ahead from Godley to Godliman and Alexei to Lexx.

Meet Charles Booth - Ed Fringe 2015

I started off doing regular sketch comedy and improv for many years and even went to Toronto for a couple to study at the world famous Second City, where comics like Mike Myers, John Candy and Martin Short got their start. But when I got back to the UK I had no one to do sketches with, so I thought, "Hey, why not just do a show on my own!" Deer in the Spotlights will be my third time up in Edinburgh as a solo sketch performer. I'm really excited about this year's show; it's got a big and bold personality but with some real heart and passion. And I start off with an 8 minute interpretive ballet routine about a sperm's journey to the ovum, so you can't really top that!
