thursday friday saturday sunday
barry and stuart Andrew O'Neil Kids Comedy Club Hardeep Singh Kohli
Join the stars of Derren Brown's 3D Magic Spectacular and Tricks from the Bible for a preview of new material from their forthcoming Edinburgh show 98% Séance plus a selection of their most devious tricks to date. Winning Young Magician of the Year has propelled the duo into the public eye and they were quickly picked up to star in their own television series, the Golden Rose Award nominated, Magick. Their weird illusions have earned them places in The Twenty Sickest Tricks of All Time and in Ofcom's twenty most complained about programmes on television.

Dark Vaudeville for the 21st Century Metro
Direct from the Melbourne and New Zealand Comedy Festivals and with a Chortle Award Breakthrough Act nomination, Andrew returns with his 5th solo show and another hour of words that may or may not include 'hobo', 'arch' and 'Saint and Greavsie'. Stand-up comedy for kids and their parents. 3 top names from the comedy circuit perform stand-up without the swearing or the naughty bits! Ideal for 6-11 year olds but smaller and bigger people are also welcome. No dragons. The Nearly Naked Chef

Grab a seat and tuck in as Hardeep Singh Kohli combines comedy with inventive cuisine in a wonderfully funny, laid back show. Just think Ready, Steady, Cook with great cooking and funny anecdotes, all delivered in the Glaswegian's unique, articulate and charming way. The celebrated broadcaster (BBC One Show), raconteur, writer, cook and Celebrity Masterchef runner-up serves an extended version of his sell-out 2009 Edinburgh Festival hit with even more of his winning talents and recipes.

Andrew Lawrence Danny Bhoy Dan Antopolski Kids Comedy Club

Life's not fair and the world's a disgusting place to live. Andrew Lawrence tries to find some consolation. Double Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee 2006/07.
Danny continues to delight audiences around the world with his unique and personal brand of storytelling and razor sharp wit. An Edinburgh regular (9th solo show) he is one of the most perceptive and travelled comedians working in the world today and was invited to appear at the world famous Montreal Comedy Festival where he achieved critical acclaim and a nomination for the prestigious Gemini Award. Turn Of The Century.
Who's the comic with an ear for dialogue and a bod for sin? Triple Perrier Award Nominee and Winner of the 2009 Dave Award for Funniest Joke of the Fringe, presents his 7th solo stand-up show. Jokes? Yes sir. Raps? Almost certainly. Fun? You bet your mum it will be fun.

Kevin Bridges TonyLaw.jpg Jack Whitehall.jpg Pappys
With an Edinburgh Comedy Award nomination and appearances on both Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow and Live at the Apollo in the last 12 months, this young Glaswegian is the hottest act to come out of Scotland in the last 10 years. His unique brand of social commentary, astute observations and sharp one-liners are comedy gold. Mr Tony's Brainporium.
Like a rolling ball of funny with bits flying out of it, Tony Law’s infectious comedy will leave you stranded in a hilarious field of ideas. Comedians' Choice Award Winner and Stewart Lee’s Comedy Vehicle (BBC 2).
The 2009 Edinburgh Comedy Award Best Newcomer nominee and star of Mock the Week, 8 Out of 10 Cats and Big Brother's Big Mouth presents a brand new hour of comedy.

This hip, young star is rising so fast he is in danger of getting the bends Evening Standard

Carl Donnelly Mark Watson Michael Winslow Penny Dreadfuls
How Do You Solve A Problem Like Carl Donnelly?
Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee 2009 returns to the Fringe for an hour of impossibly effortless stand-up. As seen on Russell Howard's Good News. You're advised to come and see what all the fuss is about!
The multi-award winning comedian and host of BBC's We Need Answers, Never Mind The Buzzcocks, and a Mock The Week regular and star of cult Radio 4 series Mark Watson Makes The World Substantially Better. Mark Watson will be performing a work in progress before he finally returns to the road in the UK, with his most personal, most surprising, and funniest show yet. A rare live appearance from the comedian best known for playing Sgt 'Motor Mouth' Jones in the hugely successful Police Academy films. Michael is a master of vocal gymnastics who can imitate incredible sound effects using only his voice - whether the frenzy of Jimmy Hendrix playing the guitar or the roar of a jet plane. He has also starred in and provided voices for Spaceballs, The Simpsons, Gremlins, Family Guy and King Of The Hill! A very special and rare live show from a true Hollywood legend.

Recommended for ages 16+
From the troupe who brought you the critically acclaimed Aeneas Faversham trilogy, The Never Man and Radio 4's Guy Fawkes... A much anticipated return to sketch comedy for The Penny Dreadfuls with a brand new show for 2010. Originally starting out in sketch, the Penny Dreadfuls are also famed for their comedy thrillers and playlets which have garnered huge critical acclaim and play to sell-out audiences across the UK.

  Michael Fabbri Elis James Michael Winslow
  Michael Fabbri returns to the festival to share a few of his favourite lies. Some he heard and some he told. As well as various thoughts, facts and fictions all welded together to construct an hour of organised comedy chaos. Daytripper.
Elis is a man who spends too much time alone in the sleepy market towns of Great Britain. This is the story of his quest to make those towns interesting.

Wales's hottest young comedian from BBC Wales's Rhod Gilbert Show and BBC 6Music.

A complete joy Time Out

    Jon Richardson Hattie and Norman
    Don't Happy, Be Worry.

Last year's Edinburgh Comedy Award Nominee and Have I Got News For You panelist presents a brand new hour of stand-up.

So good he actually bends time Chortle
Both starred as the face of Holly the computer in the hugely popular TV series Red Dwarf. Individually they are also renowned and distinctive comedians. Now for a rare live performance, they link up together for a stand-up show and ad-libbed Red Dwarf Q&A to create a unique comedy evening. Hattie's razor edged humour and Norman's uninterested, deadpan style provides a perfect platform for a brilliant and unique show.
