About the show
The perfect way to warm-up for Fringe. See a selection of festival favourites - without having to dodge any flyerers!
Featuring - Mark Nelson

With a likeable manner on stage belying some of the stronger content, Nelson often has audiences laughing at things they know they really shouldn’t be laughing at. An MA degree in Politics from Glasgow University supports his brilliantly topical writing and, although his stand-up is certainly not for the easily offended, the material is intelligent, well conceived and beautifully crafted, all supported by a very confident delivery.
He is therefore a very sought-after comedian and writer, with both the skill and intellect to be able to adapt his material to suit and entertain any club, theatre or corporate audiences.
Prepare to be shocked.
'A star in the making' (The List)
'An unquestionably talented writer and performer... great jokes, and lots of them' (The Daily Telegraph)
'A remarkably accomplished stage presence... blistering material which pushes dangerously near the boundaries of good taste' (The Sunday Times).
Stephen Buchanan
His likable personality and self-deprecating material make Stephen Buchanan a hit with the audience and fellow comedians alike. He was nominated for “Best New Comedian” at the Scottish Variety Awards in 2016 and was a finalist at the Scottish Comedian of the Year competition that same year.
Krystal Evans
Sam Lake
Lighthearted, cheerful humour mostly about being a cornish gay man. Witty observations mixed with a healthy amount of tongue in cheek campness.
