The Durham Revue: Sketch Marks the Spot

The group that brought you Ed Gamble, Stevie Martin, Nish Kumar, Ambika Mod and more return with a new troupe and 100% new material. Join the award-winning Durham Revue, one of the UK's top student comedy groups, for an hour of hilarious, cutting-edge sketches and laughs for everyone!
Kate Owens: Cooking with Kathryn
Award-winning comedian Kate Owens presents her smash hit, critically acclaimed comedy show. Meet Kathryn: the "star" of her own community cookin' show, wannabe Nigella Lawson, and down-home southern belle with more wine in her veins than Jesus. She's serving up a wacked-out fricassee of absurd recipes, but the main course will be a reckoning with her troubled past and a chaotic encounter with a member of the congregation (maybe it'll be you!).

Dirty Work
Mary Floppins has thrown a shit fit. Wipe the wee from the toilet seat and pick up your dirty undies, because The Perfect Nanny is back to teach all you little boys – and girls – a thing or two about running a prim and proper household. Hailed “a rising star and quadruple threat” (Australian Arts Review), Jessica Barton combines a spoonful of song, dance, clowning, and deep-cleaning to present a skanky and empowering Edinburgh Fringe debut. BEST NEWCOMER AWARD WINNER (Melbourne Int. Comedy Festival 2025). TAKE A CHANCE ON ADELAIDE AWARD WINNER (Adelaide Fringe 2025).
Jessica Durand: Over The Top
It's 1914. The Great War is destroying Europe. Except it's actually 2025 and Jessica Durand is (very bravely) staging her very own self-insert Downton Abbey fanfiction for a live audience. An absurd one-woman love letter to fandom, queer villainy and trench warfare. No prior knowledge of Downton Abbey (or WWI) is required.
Pear: Phobia
6-foot 7 identical twin comedians Patrick and Hugo McPherson return to the Edinburgh Fringe with a blisteringly hilarious new show, Phobia. After sell-outs in 2022, 2023 and 2024, as well as double sell-out runs at London's Soho Theatre, Pear have cooked up their most ambitious, chaotic hour yet. WINNER – Critics’ Choice Award - Fringe World.
Foxdog Studios: Robo Bingo 2.0
Fresh bingo, new robots and lower quality prizes. The UK's #1 IT consultants, Pete and Lloyd, have created the best interactive quirky bingo-based experience for introverts. Play using your (charged!) phone, but in a fun way! From the comfort of your seat, control the show, steer a robotic shopping bag, attempt to draw a perfect circle, and become a statistic in our all-new multi-level bingo jail, dungeon and judicial system. If you don't like bingo, come to this. Winner of the 2024 Adelaide Fringe Innovation Award.
BATSU! Cowgate
Edinburgh, are you ready? Warriors, are you ready? Created in New York and Chicago, BATSU! returns to the Fringe after a wildly successful, sold-out 2024 run. This high-energy, spectacle pits fearless comedians against each other as they compete to avoid hilarious, jaw-dropping punishments. Inspired by Japanese-style game shows, expect the unexpected in this late-night Fringe hit. With visits from Sake Ninjas to shocking twists like paintball guns, electric shocks, and even a giant chicken - don’t miss the chaos, the laughter and the unforgettable madness that is BATSU! - the wildest show at the Fringe
Trygve Wakenshaw and Barnie Duncan: Hot Chips
Two men who like making funny shows together have decided to use the cavernous bowels of the Underbelly to stretch and writhe and dream the impossible dream one more time. A brand new show made right in front of you. Trygve lives in Prague and Barnie lives in New Zealand, so they don’t get to hang out very often, but this August they will, and they can’t wait to see what will happen. Physical verbose mime nonsense from two masters of their craftinesses. This one goes like this / that one goes like this It says a lot, without saying much. How do you feel about Hot Chips?
