Doors: 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Price: £8

Join two of The Telegraph’s funniest comedians of the 21st Century as they get their new shows ready for the Edinburgh Fringe.

Alice Fraser is a beloved cult classic: an award-winning writer, broadcaster and comedian, and a regular co-host on The Bugle. In her new show, you can come watch Alice Fraser try to talk to men, what could possibly go wrong?

“Fraser’s story-telling is charismatically compelling and her delivery is flawlessly paced..it makes you laugh, it makes you cry…most importantly it makes you think.” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Broadway Baby

“Consistently dynamic and compelling, Alice Fraser may be unorthodox, but that is her charm, and she has it in droves.” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Edinburgh Guide

John-Luke Roberts is an award-winning comedian, writer, artist, and person. His podcast Sound Heap won the BBC Audio Drama Awards for Best Sketch Comedy. In his new show “What I Talk About When I Run About, Talking” he’s talking about the human condition, nearly dying while watching Alf, and what it’s like to get an endoscopy at 11am on Rememberance Sunday. This show is a genuine attempt to pivot to the mainstream, and there should be at least five laughs per minute. No refunds.

“Flawless delivery and creative originality” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The List

“More original punchlines in his hour than some comedians manage in a career” ⭐⭐⭐⭐.5 Chortle
