A chance to catch two full shows for less
than the price of one before they go up to the Edinburgh Festival. We aim to recreate the true Edinburgh
experience – no audience, no pay for the acts, great fun! We have an enviable record in predicting the
big-hit shows before they win awards

For You (BBC1) and The Revolution Will Be Televised (BBC3)
"Some of the most surprising and thought-provoking material coming from
any comedian" The Guardian
"Bold cutting and, at
times, ruthless" The Argus.
"This show is a genuine
hidden treasure of the Fringe... ...Clever, insightful and funny, well
structured jokes are set up and delivered intelligently and candidly. Top
stuff." Chortle
GARETH RICHARDS
In October 2004 Gareth
Richards did his first ever gig aboard the Wibbly Wobbly boat, a notorious
venue compered by alternative comedy veteran Malcolm Hardy. After his set
Malcolm shook his hand and said, "Was that really your first gig?”
"Yes,” said Gareth.
Malcolm said, "Yeah, I
thought it was.”
Gareth Richards’ hilarious
stand-up, silly jokes and gorgeously low-key comedy songs have made him an
instant favourite on the comedy circuit. In 2010 he was nominated for Foster’s
Edinburgh Comedy Award Best Newcomer.
Gareth has appeared on
Russell Howard’s Good News, Live at the Electric (BBC3) and in January
performed live on Radio 1 on two separate occasions. Gareth co-hosted Frank
Skinner’s Sony award-winning Absolute Radio show for two years and supported
Frank on his 2014 tour.
