by Desiree Burch: The golden anger
It has been six years since Desiree Burch’s last standup show, in which it has become an integral part of small picture comedies. The theater manufacturer, which is always convincing and thoughtful on stage, is now returning with a set that is described as a “crazy journey” by the midlife crisis and the menopause.

Ahir Shah: Work-in-Progress
Shah’s last show, ends, conquered everything in front of himself: a moving, funny and characteristic scholar of the “generation victim” of his family and the state of multicultural Great Britain, it completed the Edinburgh Comedy Award to Netflix Special and beyond. After two years of waiting, Follow-up-Wenn is also working in work.

Andrew Doherty: Sad Gay Aids Play
When you have seen doherty’s gay witch sex cult on last year’s fringe-a delicious solo Wicker Man-Knock-Off with a coherent and thick real estate agent, good luck that opposes his follow-up. Sad Gay Aids Play turns the worthy queer drama to win his creator a coveted Pulitzer.
Pleasance Dome, July 30th until August 24th
Bridget Christie: Work-in-Progress
From 2013, when she won the Edinburgh Comedy Award, Bridget Christie Knelle The Fringe delivered the show to Must-See (Clownish, Political, Unique). Now she is also a TV star and a rarer visitor-this one-week new material from trying out to an even hotter ticket.
Monkey barrel, 2nd to August 9th
Ian Smith: Footpa half empty
Standup Smith is a candidate for the top prices of the festival in 2023 in 2023. His unlikely show since he first deals with puzzles, fertility and attempt to stay north.
Monkey Barrel, July 29 to August 24th
Cat Cohen: Wide lines
In 2023, Cohen’s Fringe Run made a “health fright”. Two years later, the New York cabaret diva now tells the story behind this cancellation. Judging according to her earlier zintiling shows (including 2019 award-winning The Twist? She is beautiful …), it will be stupid, tacking, fabulous and breathtaking over sharpening.
Pleasance Courtyard, July 31st until August 24th
Joe Kent-Walters is Frankie Monroe: Dead !!! (Have fun time)
Kent-Walters, a groundbreaking best newcomer at last year’s festival, revived the body of old school entertainment in character as Frankie Monroe, MC of a Yorkshire Working Men’s Club, which was also a portal to hell. The downside of this show, live !!!, is this year, dead !!!, in which Frankie communicates from beyond the grave.
Monkey barrel, July 28th to 2nd4th August
Jacqueline Novak
It is difficult to imagine a standup that is so indelible with a hit show as a Novak. But what a show! A 90-minute philosophical treatise on fellatio, get your knees (in Edinburgh in 2018 in the preview), got Global and then the Netflix audience. Now we discover: What else did the New Yorker get in her locker?
Affe Barrel, July 30th to 2 a.m.August 3rd
Lorna Rose Treen: 24 hours of diner people
Her dotty character comedy anthological skin pigeon signaled an eccentric new voice. Now Treen returns with a further overcrowded line -up of “Weird Women” and visits all a dinner in time. Expect silly. Expect very specifically. Expect a trucker (for example) a trucker with unusually long arms and a woman who kept her umbilical cord.
Pleasance Courtyard, July 30th to August 24th
Michelle Wolf
Not many people have landed a glove since the Donald became president. Wolf did with her notorious/celebrated set at the correspondent of the White House in 2018. Regardless of whether this one -week Fringe Run delivers a shabby political comedy or is some Homeliers about the new parenthood, it remains to be seen.
Pleasance Courtyard, 11.-17. August
Jazz Emu: The pleasure of everything is yours
Archie Henderson’s Louche Alter Ego is a striking newcomer in recent years for both character and musical comedy. Online and onstage-one sequence of pitch perfections, cleaning pop-radio parodies. But at what costs? His youngest speaks, even at best, semi-sided male self-confidence.
Pleasance Dome, July 30th to August 24th
Toussaint Douglass: Access to pigeon material
Not a newcomer to the comedy scene, on which he’s bee making waves history lockdown, but a newbie on the fringe: Toussaint Douglass’s festival debut, part of soho theatre’s edinburgh slate, will be one of the hot tickets this Summer, a “Joyfully absurd, chardingly awkard” set, largely About, he, Pigeons.
Pleasance Courtyard, July 30th to August 24th
Rhys Darby: The legend returns
Before he was a star of the escape of the sitcom and the Pirate comedy of the Conchords. Our flag means death, New Zealander Darby was a human cartoon, his stage appearances silly symphonies antic mime and sound. His new show puts a strain on this Shtick after a 13-year break to fix the ghost of AI.
Pleasance Courtyard, 1st to August 10th
Rosie O’Donnell: Here and now
Hollywood Royalty comes to Edinburgh in the form of the talk show presenter and film stars O’Donnell. After she fled from the USA at the beginning of Trump 2.0 – she has been in a public Sreding match with the former host of the apprentice – O’Donnells Fringe -Debüt in her recent move to Ireland.

Urooj Ashfaq: How to be a villain
When Ashfaq won the best newcomer Award of Fringe two years ago, she had arrived from her home Mumbai for the first time. The standup now promises (maybe something in the cheek, maybe?) In the second set with your side “Ekligen Böses Girl and Edelord”.

Tim Key: Loganberry
Key can now add a screenwriter and star of the popular film The Ballad of Wallis Island to add a curriculum vitae that already contained “Sidekick to Alan Partridge” and “Edinburgh Comedy Award”. Fresh from his success, he brings another small volume of unusual standup and strange poetry to the Fringes’ stage.
Pleasance Courtyard, July 30th to August 17th
Huge Davies: Free work in the progress
The words “affordable” and “Edinburgh Festival” are rarely connected. But every year the free Fringe keeps the spirit of Ye Olde Fringe with comics such as Richard Gadd, Liam Williams and Ellie Taylor who appear. This year, the Droll Musical Comic extends huge Davies into its portable keyboard with a job for the economical keyboard.

Jonno: I know that I can get well in it
On a fan of the sketch group – and why wouldn’t you be around everything in the world? – In this year’s Fringe program, no fascinating note is announced as that of “Jonno” Johnson. Long the goofball of this fantastic trio for three nights only in Edinburgh he immerses his toe in solo comedy.
Cabaret Voltaire @ Monkey Barrel, 11.-13. August
Dirty work
Charged as a clown? Check. Studied under Philippe Gaulier? Check. Striking source material? Check. The contemporary ingredients are available for Jessica Barton’s show to meet Fringe Paydirt, and reviews from the premiere in Melbourne, for a show, the song and Alberei, a bit of heartache and the perfect naning of Mary Floppins.
