Fern’s past two Edinburgh Fringe shows sold out through word of mouth alone and now she’s ready for her debut tour.

Scottish comedian Fern is here with a Scottish hour. Scottish. As seen on English comedian Russell Howard’s Stand Up Central, English comedian Stewart Lee’s Alternative Comedy Experience and Viceland’s new series Brexit Stage Left.

‘Suffer Fools’ is a stunning hour of incisive, relentlessly sharp comedy from one of the UK’s rising stars.

As heard on BBC Radio 4’s State of the Nations and BBC Scotland’s Breaking the News.

Renowned for his cutting-edge comedy and intrepid social commentary, Andrew is also the recognisable voice of MTV’s hit show Ex On The Beach, which is now in its sixth series and has featured on Live At The Apollo (BBC One), Have I Got News For You (BBC One), Celebrity Juice (ITV2) and Mock The Week (BBC Two).

Robin Ince’s first new stand up show in three years is a clash of the two cultures, a joyous romp through his favourite artists and strangest scientific ideas.

From the work of Stanley Spencer to Niels Bohr, it is 90 minutes fizzing with ideas about creativity in science and art, as well as asking why we believe we see what we see and why we believe what we believe.

Robin is the winner of a Sony Gold and Rose d’Or for the Infinite Monkey Cage and the Time Out Outstanding Contribution to Comedy, as well as The Francis Crick Science Journalism Award and 3 Chortle awards.

As seen on Mock The Week, Never Mind The Buzzcocks, The Now Show, The News Quiz and Loose Ends. Robin has just finished a 70 date, record breaking tour with Brian Cox that concludes at Wembley Arena.

‘An evening so bursting with energy and ideas…it’s a bundle of fascinating, surprising digressions’ – THE TIMES

*Evening Event – SOLD OUT*

Welcome to 97-hour weeks. Welcome to life and death decisions. Welcome to a constant tsunami of bodily fluids. Welcome to earning less than the hospital parking meter.

Wave goodbye to your friends and relationships . . . Welcome to the life of a junior doctor.

Scribbled in secret after endless days, sleepless nights and missed weekends, comedian and former junior doctor Adam Kay’s This Is Going to Hurt provides a no-holds-barred account of his time on the NHS front line.

Hilarious, horrifying and heartbreaking by turns, these diaries are everything you wanted to know – and more than a few things you didn’t – about life on and off the hospital ward.

And yes, it may leave a scar.

‘Painfully funny. The pain and the funniness somehow add up to something entirely good, entirely noble and entirely loveable.’ – STEPHEN FRY

‘…(a) heartening, laugh-out-loud confessional on the indignities and quiet joys of being a junior doctor in the UK National Heath Service’ – THE FINANCIAL TIMES

The award-winning star of I, Daniel Blake brings his hit Edinburgh show to Belfast.
What happens to a comedian when he’s plucked from obscurity by master film maker Ken Loach and cast in the title role of one of the most acclaimed and talked about British films in recent years?

I, Daniel Blake became a beacon for social realism and, for Dave Johns, a rollercoaster ride of red carpet surrealism. From Cannes to the BAFTAs, chatting to Woody Allen in a lift and accepting awards alongside Hollywood’s greatest… he was there, wide-eyed… through it all.

Now, he’s back doing the thing he loves best – making people laugh.

Who runs the world? Fiftysomething women, apparently. Dead Ringers star, Jan Ravens takes to the road with her well-loved impressions of Theresa May, Nicola Sturgeon, Diane Abbott, Hillary Clinton and many others, including Kirsty Wark, Lyse Doucet and Fiona Bruce.

Why, she asks, are women perceived as Difficult, when we are just being decisive, ambitious and tenacious? Well, come on, why?

Jan has been seen on, and contributed across the satirical spectrum on shows such as Newsnight, The Daily Politics, Mock the Week, QI, Question Time and Today.

‘A consummate impressionist’ – TIMES

‘Modern, topical, with a fresh satirical twist’ – TELEGRAPH

‘A brilliantly funny woman in her prime’ – KIRSTY WARK

The Rabbit Hole is a podcasting first – a free form phone-in, recorded in front of a live audience.

Hosted by Iain Lee (11 O’Clock Show, Big Brother, LBC, talkRADIO) and Katherine Boyle (BBC Radio, talkRADIO) this surreal and sometimes rather silly show is streamed online, allowing the audience at home as well as on site to call the shots.

The ideas come from all angles, and people can ring at any time to add to the conversation, or start their own. And don’t worry, the audience on site are allowed and encouraged to shout out and chip in any time they want.

From the big questions to the stupid ones, life changing moments to those you’d rather forget, no subject’s off-limits and there are no holds barred.

So join Iain and Kath down The Rabbit Hole. Where you’ll end up, nobody knows – but it’ll be a lot of fun finding out!
