Press clippings

The original, full-length comedy marathon at the Edinburgh festival fringe lasted eight hours, so this 60-minute version is very much a boiled-down affair. Introduced by Chris Ramsey and Jameela Jamil, we're promised the highlights from the 40-plus comedians who took part performing stand-up and sketches. There's an array of talent to choose from, including Adam Riches, Ellie Taylor and Celia Pacquola, plus a couple of old timers - Jimmy Cricket and Phil Kay - as well as newer blood, such as Adam Hess, winner of the 2011 Chortle Student Comedy award.
