Some truly marvellous comedians have recorded jingles for us over the years, and several of them are presently capitalising on that exposure we generously gave them by doing full-length shows at the Edinburgh Fringe. If you’re going to the festival, do check them out:
Andy Zaltzman – Armchair Revolutionary, 16.25 the Stand
Holly Walsh – Hollycopter, 18.00 Pleasance
Jay Foreman – We’re Living in the Future, 14.30 Underbelly
Joanna Neary – Youth Club, 15.50 the Stand
Josie Long – The Future is Another Place, 19.00 Pleasance
Matthew Crosby – AdventureParty, 16.45 Pleasance
Stuart Goldsmith – Another Lovely Crisis, 19.00 Pleasance
Tom Price – Say When, 21.45 Pleasance
We’d also recommend seeing AMTfriends Isy Suttie and Bridget Christie, and…heck, there are too many great shows to list here, but go to the comments to tell us about your top picks of the fringe offerings.
And please, if you’re in Edinburgh at 1pm on 25th August, pop into Word Power Books to see us reading from our book as part of the book fringe festival! As added bait, Martin the Sound Man will be wheeled out to serenade the audience; and it’s FREE. It would be delightful to see you there, and maybe we can all go for some deep-fried Irn Bru afterwards.

Don’t forget your Sony Award co-winner Martin White will be doing Karaoke Circus with Danielle Ward, Aug 22-24.

Good point. What Sony Award did Martin White win? Do they have an accordion category?
August 11, 2011 at 3:55 pm |
If I’m not mistaken, wasn’t it YOUR award he won?
He should win his own award for his made-up-during-the-show songs on Dave Gorman’s radio show, though.

I was at M. Zaltzman’s first preview show. It was genuinely hilarious, and I thought ‘once he learns his lines, it will be something else!’ So I’ll be going again and recommend it highly to all AMTers, not to mention Buglers. I can’t make the reading unfortunately but do have a deep fried bus stop on me.

Issy Sutty does have a nice fringe.
