Returning to Edinburgh with her second show, Lizzy Lenco dives headfirst into the chaos of love, with its highs, lows, and ridiculous obsessions. Through comedy, song, and daft audience interaction, she unpacks the thrill of infatuation, the sting of regret, and the way love rewires us, for better or worse. Lizzy is making a name for herself on the comedy circuit for her ‘brilliant dark humour’ **** (NeurodiverseReview.co.uk). She has been described as ‘a very funny nut job’ and ‘a masterful storyteller’. The Scotsman called her ‘Impressive’. Expect laughter, cringing, and a love story like no other.

The Limerence

Winner of So You Think You're Funny 2022, Joshua Bethania presents an early version of his second hour, exploring how he can be an optimist while being an unapologetic cynic.

As seen on Comedy Central, BBC and Channel 4.

'xvelastín creates the most beautiful sounds from the simplest of actions' (RaggedCult.com). [whalesong] is a sound play about the noises and voices in the sea by award-winning sound artist and technologist Xavier Velastín. It is a love song to cetaceans (toothed and baleen), a sound bath about our fluid, aquatic selves and our ocean cousins. A sub-mersive sonic experience like no other, with a little whale balloon and a gargle-along theme song. So, if you hate plastic and love blowholes: blubber up, the ocean is calling.

Blake AJ is doing his debut hour of stand-up comedy, so expect 'a lively energy about him that helps him hold a room from start to end' (Notts Comedy Review). It should be fun. We all need a little less concentration and a little more slacking. Basically, the exact opposite of what Elvis was saying. Now he’s just been given the responsibility of deciding someone's fate. That feels like a lot..

Blake It Til You Make It
