Steve Bugeja Brings Brand-New Hour SHINY To The Edinburgh Festival Fringe

Star and co-creator of ITV2's Buffering, award-winning comedian Steve Bugeja (The Russell Howard Hour, Love Island: Aftersun, Economics with Subtitles), brings a brand-new hour to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Shiny.

Following on from his largest tour to date with his latest show that "makes the art of stand-up comedy look effortless" (Edinburgh Festivals Magazine), Steve is one of the circuit's most exciting comedians, writers and performers and is presenting his brand-new show as part of the Fringe at Monkey Barrel, The Tron from 29th July - 25th August at 1.35pm.

There's lots of advice from 'experts' on how to achieve your dreams. When Steve wrote and starred in his own sitcom, with his best friend no less, he achieved his dream, and in his latest show, he invites you to come find out whether it was worth it... or not. Exploring the concept of success and failure, in Shiny Steve also uncovers his time messing up a Dominos Pizza advert, attempting to hang out with The Chasers and what happened when Steve met a Pussycat Doll.
