Danny O'Brien, Alice Fraser

Danny O’Brien:

Award-winning Irish comedian Danny O’Brien went to prison. Three times to perform. Again by accident. He’s performed relentlessly worldwide and took up a new religion through the medium of a hangry hangover. This is a must-see Edinburgh stand-up show. Following in the footsteps of Simon Pegg, Dylan Moran and Dara O’Brian, Danny was handpicked this year to perform as part of the iconic Best of the Edinburgh Fest Show touring Australia, has featured on The Comedy Channel and is a regular on Irish TV and Radio.

Alice Fraser: Ethos

Intelligence – the next frontier. We have always been fascinated by the idea of non-human minds. From the Golem; the Jewish myth of a clay man animated by a word, to Frankenstein’s monster, to the prospect of superhuman artificial intelligence. We strive to create minds and fear what we might create. Imagine an Artificial Intelligence: a brilliant but naïve mind, newly created. Now imagine that machine-mind is left to learn about our world by watching a comedy show. Alice Fraser explains human politics, failure and cultural hypocrisy to a robot.

After globally critically-acclaimed seasons and sold-out shows at Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Sydney Comedy Festival, and Edinburgh Fringe Alice is back with another silly, funny, and smart show that explores what it is to be human.
