Edinburgh Comedy Preview

Up-and-coming comic talents give us a sneak preview before they make a splash at the iconic fringe festival.

Opening the night, we have the hilarious Alison Spittle. A man told Alison to sit down and now she’s doing a whole stand-up show about it!

The British Comedy Guide best reviewed show of the Fringe 2022 is guaranteed to leave you in “tears with laughter” (The Irish Times).

Closing the night, we are treated to the “young and gifted” (Scotsman) Tadiwa Mahlunge, who is back with an “impressively accomplished and infectiously funny” (Skinny) set, after an award-nominated, sell-out debut. With more fevered tales of how this political refugee is trying to get rich outside the corporate rat race, without losing his flat, or worse, disappointing his mother…
