Is this your first time to Bedfringe?
I am coming back to Bedfringe following my 2023 [ahem] award-winning show BABY DINOSAUR. This time though, it is not an Edinburgh preview, but a FINISHED show. Now I just need to remember it!
Rumours circulate that I only do Bedfringe because I was born in Bedford and only add this tour date as an excuse for a sesh with my old school mates. Poppycock. Bedford is the Las Vegas of the East of England and all comedians want to soak up the atmosphere. And what an atmosphere! My shows are massively interactive and semi-improvised so I need these audiences – Bedford crowds always get involved. I can’t wait. The countdown is on! We’re counting down from 10 but if you’re from Northampton join in at 2.
What are the big things you’ve learned since 2025 and have you absorbed any of the lessons yet?
Since my last show I have chucked custard pies at Ant & Dec live on Britain’s Got Talent, fronted a TV campaign for Rangemaster ovens and doubled down on my unique style of madcap comedy.
Which is the opposite of learning lessons – this show is even more unpredictable than the last. No one knows what’s gonna happen, and if you don’t buy a ticket you never will!
Tell us about your show.
‘Hasta La Vista…BIBBY!’ is a love letter to cinema. A one-man Hollywood Blockbuster.
This is the opposite of those ‘what do you do for a living?’ comedians you see on TikTok. It is live and unpredictable. The audience will play parts in the movie, contribute sound effects and help shape the outcome of the night – each performance unpredictable and unique.
This is my most ambitious show yet – it dives into the chaotic, creative mind of someone with inattentive ADHD. It begins as an attempt to perform Back to the Future but quickly derails as distractions, temptations, and random thoughts take us on a journey through beloved films like Ghostbusters, Star Wars, and Labyrinth.
The question at its heart: would you go back in time and tell your childhood self that you are different?
This show celebrates the richness of neurodiverse thinking and live performance, incorporating audience participation in ways that can only be achieved on stage, making each performance one-of-a-kind. It thrives on the spontaneity and creativity of festivals like Bedfringe. Tbf I also said that about Brighton Fringe, Leicester and Edinburgh. But Bedfringe has always been my favourite. Promise.
What should your audience see at Bedfringe after they’ve seen your show?
Definitely check out The Vampire Run. Big Jonny Laury told me about this when he was developing the idea and it sounds exactly like the kind of thing we should be seeing at arts festivals.
We all love Max Fulham as well, don’t we? I did superLOLs at his last show about ham so no doubt this one will be even better and should provide more culinary meats.
Straight after me is Best of Castle Comedy. Great promoter, great acts, great way to close the festival. I think they have Josh Pugh and Angela Barnes on. Class.
I also saw one lad who’s main poster image was mostly a picture of his bicep. I would like to see that arm up close. Can’t remember his name but what a poster.
