Edinburgh Festival

Brassy, abrasive, rude, belligerent. The four horsemen of the apocalypse? No. They’re all words that have been used to describe Rachel of All Killa No Filla, and she’s proper sick of it now. She’s also sick of being told to “be kind” by everyone from bearded hipster men in T-shirts. What’s wrong with saying it how you see it? What really is kindness? Why is Rachel’s truth not respected? Why are you all so annoying? Probably because nobody tells you that you are. Let Rachel change that.

Kiri Pritchard-McLean is back and a lot has happened over the last few years. She’s moved back to her home island of Anglesey and gotten some rescue chickens. You can expect jokes about skinny jeans, learning Welsh and white supremacy – something for everyone.

Catherine Bohart loves control, hates change and is a serial planner. It’s been an interesting couple of years… A blisteringly funny new stand-up show filled with horrendous life advice, cheery nihilism and reluctant self-discovery from one of the UK and Ireland’s most exciting comics

Edinburgh Comedy Award Best Newcomer nominee Lauren is back with a brand-new show. She is reluctant to say what it is about because if the last year has taught her anything, it's life can change fast… it is what it is.

A round-up of all BroadwayWorld's reviews from the 2022 Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

A powerhouse whose dark humour and cutting observations have firmly established him as one of the UK’s biggest-hitting comedians.

The world premiere stage adaptation inspired by the sequel to cult classic Trainspotting. 15 years after Trainspotting, what has become of Renton, Sickboy, Spud and Begbie?

Comedy's miserable, cheeky scamp is returning with the weight of the world across his shoulders and some burning questions in his soul. Primarily: why on earth is everyone not just constantly screaming in fury?

Alex is a social success. Her Instagram boasts a montage of members-only rooftops and clinking glasses – like after like after like! When her father dies, Alex reluctantly joins a bereavement group. She shares a little, and then lies... a lot.

When Grumms transforms from a normal girl into a squid monster ('Creature from the Black Lagoon' meets 'The Muppets'), they must hide their secret identity in order to pass in society. Stunning video projections, puppetry and physical comedy combine in this absurd exploration of gender and growing up 'normal'.

Pack your calculators, save your spread sheets and set your automatic email reply because Karen from Finance is heading Out of Office! She's hitting the road and she's hitting it hard. Say goodbye to the 80 hour work week and jump on board the Finance Express for this one-woman journey of self-discovery... and self-annihilation. Beloved Australian drag queen Karen from Finance presents her debut one woman show Out of Office which features all of her trademark high-camp and hilarious mashups, plus all the tomfoolery you can poke a presentation pointer at.

Highly anticipated debut from this 'one to watch' (FunnyWomen.com), 'rising star' (OxInABox.co.uk) and multi-competition finalist. She was 'innocent' (Oxford Mail) and 'adorable' (MumbleComedy.net) but in this thought-provoking and playful show, she explores the things that aren’t so lovely: sex, drugs and rock'n'roll*
