Are you ready to be taken HOSTAGE? ‘Slick, briskly paced and wonderfully anarchic production’ ***** (LondonTheatre1.com). ‘Witty and entertaining’ ***** (WestEndBestFriend.co.uk). ‘Fast-paced hour of idiotic nonsense’ **** (Daily Express). ‘Takes high-concept comedy to new and perilous heights’ **** (BroadwayBaby.com). ‘Fast-paced hour of delectable silliness’ **** (ThreeWeeks).”

Is this your first time to Edinburgh?
Unfortunately not. This is our fifth time at the EdFringe, but like all professional comedians we don’t count the first three. We can’t wait to return to the absolute chaos that is the EdFringe. There’s no better feeling than when the streets are packed with lovely potential audience members and a rotating cast of different acapella groups.
What are the big things you’ve learned since 2023 and have you absorbed any of the lessons yet?
Every time we look at the mirror (and yes, we do that collectively as a group of 3), we realise how poorly we are aging. But that’s okay, because we all looked amazing to begin with.
Tell us about your show.
The show was actually written by three up and coming playwrights. 33.3% of the credit must go to the acclaimed Sam Walls. Another third must go to the wonderful John Bond. And finally, 3/10 of the glory must lie at the feet of the controversial Christian Dart. Coincidentally, they are the 3 members of the Bad Clowns. During the show, audience members will experience a shoddy, poorly put together theatre play. But fear not! The show quickly gets taken over by a madman with a gun – and he also takes over the audience!
What should your audience see at the festivals after they’ve seen your show?
We are actually bringing two further shows to the Fringe this year – Bad Clowns and Good Friends (a comedy compilation every Friday and Saturday) and Christian Dart: Bigger than the Christmas Turkey (the solo show of one of the lads – it’s 20 minutes after us!). But we’d also like to plug the wonderful Will Sebag with Will of the People, Katie Pritchard with I Kiss the Music, and Sam Dodgshon with Memory is Full. They’re all hilarious and cool.
