“I have a director named Paul Bryne but he does not like being spoken about.”

WHO: John Hastings, Comedian

WHAT: “Last year, John Hastings was hit by a car and broke his arm. He then became homeless (his choice) with a long distance girlfriend (her choice) and now has a lot of thoughts on pigeons and bicycles (your choice). Now he’s written this comedy show. A tale of displacement, death and denial (don’t worry, there are jokes too). As seen on Comedy Central.”

Is this your first time to Edinburgh?

Nope, this is my 7th fringe IN A ROW! I am excited about this one because honestly, I think if anything I am funnier than I was last year.

Tell us about your show.

I wrote this silly bill show with all the jokes and trappings all by my lonesome. Well, I have a director named Paul Bryne but he does not like being spoken about so I get to take all the credit. This show is premiering at Edinburgh and everyone I know is excited about the show (because of my begging).

What’s the biggest thing to have happened to you since Festivals ’17?

I got hit by a car, I became a homeless man. I continue to be in love with myself and my girlfriend.

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

Go see Chris Betts, Ben Target, Carl Donnelly and come to see me again.
