+3 Interview: Ross Brierley: Accumulator

“It’s my debut solo hour of stand up comedy.”

Award-winning comedian Ross Brierley takes you on a surreal journey into the highs and lows of trying to predict the future to pay the bills. An hour of big, daft ideas and little plastic pens from the host of The Not So Late Show with Ross and Josh.”

Is this your first time to Edinburgh?

No it is not. I went up last year with The Not So Late Show with Ross & Josh (which also returns this year on the Free Fringe) but this is my first solo hour. Last year was a full-on, relentless baptism of fire and this year will hopefully be a bath at just the right temperature for a month, leaving my toes wrinkled beyond belief.

Tell us about your show.

I wrote it! I produced it! I got the sizes for the poster wrong, leading to a delay with the design! I reply to all the emails! I do all the jokes! I stray off topic, nobody else. It’s my debut solo hour of stand up comedy and it’s about the dominant theme in my 33 years to date: Gambling. Where am I taking it? Wherever it’s wanted! WHO WANTS IT?

What should your audience see at the festivals after they’ve seen your show?

They should see Sean Morley bend your mind with weird immersive comedy stuff, The Delightful Sausage regenerate a Northern town and then something completely different, like a full on Samba dance band.
