“I LOVE the Fringe, it’s such an amazing way to perform to new people, and the doing the same show every day at the same time in the same venue is so good for improving a show and developing as a comedian.”
WHO: Ted Hill
WHAT: “Ted Hill – ‘genuinely hilarious’ ***** (BroadwayBaby.com) – is weird. His clothes are weird. His vibes are weird. His comedy is weird. He’s always been a weird little ADHD weirdo. But now he must grow up and do some proper, traditional stand-up comedy. There will* be NO multimedia mayhem, definitely NO computer chaos and absolutely ZERO silliness. ‘Few comedians harness the frenetic activity of their minds quite as comprehensively as Ted Hill’ (Chortle.co.uk). ‘Hill’s childish energy belies the slickness of his tech and his irrepressible nerd’s fondness for graphs’ (Scotsman). *probably”
WHERE: Assembly George Square Studios – Studio Four (Venue 17)
WHEN: 14:40 (60 min)

Is this your first time to Edinburgh?
This is my third show I’ve taken to the Fringe in the last 3 years. My first show was about every American President, my second was an attempt to fix climate change using powerpoint comedy. I LOVE the Fringe, it’s such an amazing way to perform to new people, and the doing the same show every day at the same time in the same venue is so good for improving a show and developing as a comedian.
What are the big things you’ve learned since 2023 and have you absorbed any of the lessons yet?
The biggest thing I learned last year was that the work has to start early when creating a successful Fringe show; so this year I started working on this one on the train back from Edinburgh last year.
Tell us about your show.
My show is a multimedia comedy show about weirdness, asking the question “am I weird?”, and “what does it mean for comedy to be weird?”. There’s loads of videos, an attempt by me to build both an AI and a robot, and some of the silliest use of technology you’ve ever seen. I’ve done 10 previews of the show, so it’s in tip top shape. It’s definitely the best show I’ve ever made!
What should your audience see at the festivals after they’ve seen your show?
Go and see as much comedy that is going something different to traditional stand up as you can! Rosalie Minnitt, Alex Franklin, Will BF, Elf Lyons, Mat Ewins, Amelia Bayler, Joz Norris, Jon-Luke Roberts, Luke Rollason, Jordan Brooks, Jazz Emu, Huge Davies, Lou Wall, Rob Copland.
