Proving once more that not all the best comedy is up in Edinburgh this month, we’ve got three excellent shows for you to take in a little closer to home including Dan Nightingale and Hayley Ellis.
Though he’s more used to selling out arenas these days with his smash hit podcast Have A Word, Nightingale will always have a special place in his heart for XS Malarkey. So best to get down and see him in XS’s more familiar surrounds of The Bread Shed this week as he trots out some new stuff before his nationwide tour later in the year.
Hayley Ellis bucks tradition by placing a tour show right in the middle of the Edinburgh Fringe. Excellent counter programming from one of the best comedians in the North West. Ellis weaves hyper relatable tales of motherhood and lockdown in new show ‘The Invisible Mam’ and she’s already selling out shows in this her debut UK tour. Get a ticket if you can.
