Edinburgh

It just wouldn't be right without us

After 2004's exertions, we seriously considered taking this year off from Edinburgh. It's a long way away, it costs a small fortune, and everyone falls out with each other because you are living within 3 feet of each other for the great majority of a month. But then, we've said that every year since we first went to Edinburgh back in the dim distant past, and we've always changed our mind; get your laughing gear round this pair of crackers:

Steve Oram: Denim. Side-splitting characters, sketches and songs from one of TV's hottest talents. Star of The Pilot Show C4, Matthew & Tone C4, Live Floor Show BBC2, feature film It's All Gone Pete Tong
"Clever, dynamic and incredibly funny", * * * * The List
"A true original" Stage
"Brain- tinglingly funny" * * * * * Three Weeks

Electric Cabaret. Following in the footsteps of Comedy-OhOh, this is a brand spanking new comedy cabaret show which is set to become one of the must have late night tickets on the Fringe. It's going to be fun-packed, laughter packed, and frankly, a little bit UnderHand.
