10 of the best comedy acts to see at the Fringe
If you're looking for something to tickle your funny bone at this year's Fringe festival, here are some must-see acts that are guaranteed to leave you in stitches.
Nina Glencross, Daily Record, 28th July 2016BBC at the Edinburgh Festivals 2016
An all-star line-up of top comedy, arts, writing and music - as well showcases for new fresh talent - will be at the heart of the BBC's Edinburgh Festivals coverage across TV, radio and online.
BBC, 27th July 2016Fringe preview: The Stand
Iconic Edinburgh venue keeps its finger on the Fringe pulse with an exciting programme of established names and up-and-coming talent.
Kevin Wight, TV Bomb, 26th July 2016Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehice, series 1-4 review
Across four seasons of Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle, we're given a window into the pure, unplanned, and unrefined machinations of comedy. Editing each season into six 30-minute episodes ensures the series is televisable, but, in doing so, doesn't divest us of a crucial layer of entertainment: the comedian vs. the audience contest.
Haran Sivapalan, Pop Matters, 5th July 2016Review: Bristol Comedy Garden
Bringing such intellect and masterful delivery to The Big Top on its opening night, Stewart Lee has set the standard high at this year's Comedy Garden.
Serena Cherry, Bristol 24/7, 30th June 2016Fringe preview: Stewart Lee
These are dark days indeed. David Bowie dead, Brexit and the BBC not recommissioning Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle. It is precisely at times like this that we need Lee on a major mainstream platform.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 29th June 2016Stand-up: unpretentious but often anti-intellectual
Comedians tend to apologise for making any highbrow references in their material. I wish more felt at ease quoting poetry like Liam Williams.
Brian Logan, The Guardian, 24th June 2016Opinion: what is stand-up?
What is stand-up comedy? I thought I knew, but I'm starting to wonder.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 19th May 2016For Little Alan, comedy review
Last night's tribute to Matt Bradstock-Smith beautifully evoked the childlike surrealism of his days playing Harry Hill's son Little Alan, in the Nineties.
Bruce Dessau, Evening Standard, 17th May 2016For Little Alan review
Party like it's 1994! The boys in the Pub Band are back together - and exploding into silliness.
