Posted in *Written Interviews, EdFestivals 2023 by

“Was just waiting until I had thousands of dollars I was willing to never see again, and this year I’m finally doing it.”

WHO: Martin Urbano

WHAT: “Martin Urbano spent his long, lucky career talking and saying anything he wanted, until allegations surfaced, he stepped out of the spotlight, promising to take a long time to listen. Now he’s back! Martin tackles his allegations (and much more!) in this long-awaited apology comeback show. He shares his humorous musings on being cancelled, woke Twitter mobs and Uber. ‘Martin Urbano is sincerely subversive’ (New York Times). ‘His work combines edgy, almost-over-the-line humor with – get this – really good jokes’ (Vulture.com). ‘He often leans into a persona of a sex creep’ (Vice.com).”

WHERE: Pleasance Courtyard – Bunker Three (Venue 33)

Is this your first time to Edinburgh?

This is my first time at Fringe, but I’ve wanted to go for years! Was just waiting until I had thousands of dollars I was willing to never see again, and this year I’m finally doing it. I got my entire life’s savings together, put it into an envelope labelled “Stamptown Productions,” and handed it directly to the head of Stamptown; Zach Zucker

What are the big things you’ve learned since 2022 and have you absorbed any of the lessons yet?

I learned a lot of things that are much too private to share with you. So instead I’ll give you this answer: I learned how to make a woman have an orgasm, but can’t say the lesson has quite sunk in yet!

Tell us about your show.

My show, Apology Comeback Tour, highlights my abilities as a “truth-teller” comedian. I wrote the show by watching funny stand-up comedians and then writing down what they said verbatim. I’ve been touring this show in the United States of America, mostly at comedy clubs, where crowds have had mixed reactions. Depending how it does at the Fringe, I will either tour it more and film it, or I will quit stand-up comedy forever.

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

America needs a win, so please check out some funny Americans, like: Ike Ufomadu (let’s just say… he’s kind of weird!), Chloe Radcliffe and her show about cheating, Myq Kaplan’s show which is at the same exact time as mine, the show ( . ) ( . ), not American but I’ll give her a pass, Janine Harouni, and despite all of the horrible things you may have heard about their personal lives, check out the briTANick guys.
