Edinburgh Comedians See Stars

So Edinburgh has come to an end for another year, and as artists and audiences reluctantly head home, topped up with caffeine and berocca wondering whether the past month was in fact a water-logged whirlwind of a dream, we take a look at some of the comedians that did really well.

After winning the Fosters Edinburgh Comedy Award last year, there were high hopes for Russell Kane’s Manscaping show this Summer and he didn’t disappoint – the show received a plethora of four and five stars:

“Manscaping is Kane’s best yet…this is a pyrotechnically funny hour, in which Kane applies his uncommonly critical intelligence to his love life, his career curve and the various identities available to the modern male.” The Guardian, read the full review here

The Boy With Tape On His Face performed by Sam Wills was also met with critical acclaim as Chortle awarded it five stars.

Jack Whitehall performed both a solo show, and a show with his Dad, and received four stars from the Telegraph for Let’s Not Speak Of This Again which is here at Warwick Arts Centre on Sun 2 Oct.

Dave Gorman performed at the Fringe for the first time in eight years with his show Dave Gorman’s PowerPoint Presentation for which he was “presented” starred reviews. Chortle said it was “intelligent, playful, quirky, obsessive and original” and Fest Mag gave five stars and announced it “a storming success”.

Finally, Richard Herring delighted Edinburgh audiences with What is Love, Anyway? and was described by The Independent as “A powerful orator with tricks up his sleeve”
