TweetThe double Edinburgh comedy award nominee (as seen on shows such as Mock The Week, Alan Davies ‘As Yet Untitled’ and much more) returns a brutally funny dive into a year like no other. From his hospitalisation during last year’s Melbourne Comedy Festival to the harrowing experience of his young daughter’s hospital stay battling a serious illness later in the year, Carl’s life has been anything but ordinary. Throw in some curated morning drinking and in his uniquely effortless style, you’ve got an unmissable hour of stand-up. With his signature blend of honesty and wit, Carl turns life’s darkest moments into comedy gold. Raise a glass and join him for laughs, resilience, and hard-earned perspective. “His comic warmth could fill the Sydney Opera House” Chortle “Masterful stand-up with the lightest of touches” British Comedy Guide
“Most charming raconteur to be found at the festival” David Astle ABC

Billed as a "work in progress", Simon had a good first 20 minutes and a very mediocre final 40! Arriving an hour late didn't help his cause. Needs a lot of work pre-Edinburgh.

Unfortunately, Sasha was held up by trains and couldn't make it. But we enjoyed the others who filled in at the last minute. Gorgeous venue. Lovely organisers. Bar well stocked

an excellent work in progress gig, Alasdair was very good explained the process and tried out his new material and it all went well, a bigger audience would have been better, but it is a small venue, but it was an intimate jig and it all went very well
