Gilded Balloon In Association With Intelligent Artist Management Presents AMERICAN...ISH at Edinburgh Festival Fringe, 6 - 13 August

Gilded Balloon are proud to present American Comedians Camilla Cleese, Sarah Tiana and Cort McCowan in their Edinburgh Festival Fringe debut show.

Three American stand-ups, and guests, bring American humour to our shores, and show us how to laugh... Sarah Tiana (Chelsea Lately, and The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson), Cort McCowan (twice voted best in Vegas, and regular at The Comedy Store in Hollywood) and Camilla Cleese (she of the tall father - making her own way in the world of stand-up) soon to appear in the movie Bachelorette Weekend.

Camilla Cleese has appeared in various films including High and Outside and Bachelorette Weekend and her TV work includes Entourage, The Human Face, Stand up and Deliver and What's Wrong With Men. She is a regular performer on the American Stand up Circuit and has appeared at many of the country's top comedy venues and Festivals including Laugh Factory Chicago, The Comedy Bar Chicago, The Comedy Shrine, ZaniesChicago, Flappers, The Comedy Store, The Improv (regular), JFL New Faces Showcase, Cabo ComedyFestival, Ventura Comedy Festival, Laughing Devil Comedy Festival.

Sarah Tiana has been a "working" comedian/ex-waitress in Los Angeles since 2003. Her material emphasizes the thrills of growing up after "The War of Northern Aggression" and trying to survive in the current battle of the sexes. She doesn't call herself "single," (she's too old for that), she prefers to be called "sexually active." Her big break came when she appeared as Carmen in four episodes of Reno 911!'s 7th season. She has done over ten tours of comedy for the troops abroad including Germany, Singapore, Afghanistan, Guam, Okinawa, and several Wounded Warrior Facilities. A trip to Iraq at the beginning of the war is highlighted in the documentary film, We Love You Mrs. Bevins. Sarah recently wrote and starred in The Burn with Jeffrey Ross for two seasons on Comedy Central. She is currently a correspondent on The Soup Investigates and a regular on the Chelsea Lately roundtable.

Cort McCown debuted on the 1985 hit film Teen Wolf with a role as one of Michael J. Fox's basketball teammates. He followed that with roles Can't Buy Me Love, Beverly Hills Brats, One Man Force and 1992 comedy/horror film Auntie Lee's Meat Pies. His TV work includes Hunter, JAG, Beverly Hills, 90210, and on the soap operas Passions and The Young and Restless. In 2010, he returned to TV with a role on the FX sitcom The League.

He began performing as a stand up comedian in 2001 and is a regular at Los Angeles clubs The World Famous Comedy Store and Laugh Factory. In 2003 he created The Playboy Comedy Tour that was at The Palms Hotel in Las Vegas for nine years, winning Best of Las Vegas Award several times. He was also the Morning Show host for Playboy Radio and currently has a Podcast with fellow Comedian Joe Bartnick - Insensitivity Training - on All Things Comedy Network.
