Is this your first time to Edinburgh?

No, it’s my fourth year as a comic. But, I’ve been up before as like a runner/fan.

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

I 100%-ed Crash Bandicoot 2. I also got a show on Radio 1, but I feel like that’s not as hard to do.

Tell us about your show.

I wrote it (read: am telling my agent I’ve finished writing it) and it’s being produced by the amazing gang at Mick Perrin Worldwide. We met because they took out a “comedian wanted” advert in the church newsletter, and I responded because it’s been my lifelong dream to go to Scotland. Hopefully, the show will be good enough to take somewhere after Edinburgh.

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

They should see Catherine Bohart, Sarah Keyworth, Red Richardson, Pierre Novellie, Sid Singh, Chris MacArthur Boyd, and Rosco Mclelland and a million other shows cos you should support live comedy. But especially those ones
