XS Malarkey: Edinburgh Previews with Hannah Platt and Rob Kemp

A rising star on the North West circuit Platt has been described as a 'Liverpudlian Daria'. Dark and twisted her comedy is stone cold dead pan delivered in pocket size form.

Rob burst onto the comedy scene from nowhere with 2017's multiple award-winning musical take on Evil Dead II, The Elvis Dead. But he's usually performing stand-up comedy by and as himself!

Consistently engaging and charismatic (Wee Review).

Twisted genius **** (Sunday Times).

'Toby is an actor, writer and comedian, who has a stupid name that no-one can pronounce or spell. He was born in a small cottage in Ludlow, Shropshire at the turn of the century, and even as a baby, sported a rather manly collection of facial hair.'

Manchester comedy Legend and host of XS Malarkey. Toby was the inaugural winner of The Les Dawson Award, beating a shortlist including Peter Kay, Daniel Kitson, Dave Spikey, Ken Dodd, Caroline Ahearne, Craig Cash and Steve Coogan. He works regularly in TV and Radio having appeared in shows ranging from Coronation Street to Peter Kay’s Phoenix Nights.

'Superior stand-up skills – very, very funny' (The Guardian)

'A comedy genius' (Metro).
