Is this your first time to Edinburgh?

This will be my 6th year performing at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. I originally moved to Edinburgh to go to University and study study Sports Engineering.

What’s the biggest thing to have happened to you since Festivals ’18?

I won the International Brotherhood of Magicians British Ring Close-Up Competition, down in Southport.

After the success of last years show, I took it out to Australia, and also back home to the Glasgow International Comedy Festival.

Tell us about your show.

I primarily write the show, with the help from a few others that include creatives and and magicians. The show is produced by the brilliant ‘Blonde Ambition’ and the venue, the Voodoo Rooms.

I’m excited to hopefully take this show out on tour towards the end of this year/start of 2020.

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

I’d recommend seeing as many shows as possible. Take a punt on an unknown show, you might really enjoy it. Also grab the opportunity to see unusual shows that you wouldn’t normally get the chance to see.

The shows I’d highly recommend seeing are:

– Chris Dugdale: Down to One
– Aaron Crow: Fearless
– Tom Crosbie: Nerd World Problems
– Kevin Quantum: Neon Future
– Troy Hawke: Tiles of the Unexpected!
– Stephen Buchanan: Baby Dove
