CANCEL ANTI-WOKEFLAKE SNOW CULTURE Comes to Edinburgh Fringe

Leicester Square New Comedian of the Year 2021, Sam Nicoresti will solve the gender debate in under an hour or your money back! Free show.

Sam's mission to get a Netflix special by cynically becoming a right-wing culture war comedian backfires when they inconveniently realise they're genderqueer. However, major streaming services will be glad to know that in order to combat this unmarketable 'snowflake perspective' Sam Nicoresti has invented...Nam Sicoresti: their ire-driven alter ego cruelly cancelled for "the consequences of things he said and did?!".

Nam will be telling it like it is whilst complaining about being no-platformed, live from a stage at one of the biggest platforms in the world for a month. Nam even has a trick up his sleeve, a hilarious 'woke-lefty-snowflake' character called...Sam Nicoresti: a stand-up 'comedixn' with hot takes on queer identity, pronouns and *yawn* the right to exist!

In a push-and-pull between the two personas, cancel culture and identity politics collide with more traditional comedy topics like 'Is there a soul?' and 'Can you sell it to the devil for a show on GB News?' Will there be a winner from the maelstrom of opinion and counter opinion? Probably not, but it will be fun trying.

A multimedia surrealist hour from comedy's odd prince of overthinking.

Cancel Anti-Wokeflake Snow Culture runs at Venue 156 PBH's Free Fringe @ The Banshee Labyrinth

6-28 August @ 8.55pm
