A Guide To Edinburgh 2015

August 7, 2015 by Becca Moody 0 Comment

That time of year is upon us once more; thousands of performers, reviewers and
audience members are preparing to visit the holy grail of comedy that is the
Edinburgh Festival. Here is a quick run through of everything MoodyComedy would
be attending if only I could get there this year. Do get in touch if you attend any of
these shows, or see something else that you think should be featured. You can also
catch up with the past week’s exclusive MoodyComedy interviews.

Stuff That’s Gold

Katherine Ryan

Katherine Ryan is performing her latest show, Kathbum, currently riding high on her
phenomenal rise to fame in recent years and showing no signs of stopping any time
soon. With every new show, Katherine only increases in her wisdom, experience and
cutting sass, similar to that of Irish charmer Aisling Bea who brings her second
show, Plan Bea, to the festival. Another name to watch out for is that of Luisa
Omielan, who will perform a very limited run of her second show Am I Right
Ladies?!. Omielan is a performer that cares about her audience to an extent I don’t
think I’ve ever witnessed before: her show is empowering, lively and not to be
missed.

James Acaster presents another whacky hour of surreal yet surprisingly dramatic
story-telling stand up in his show Represent and Joe Lycett returns, with possibly the
best show title of the year: That’s The Way, A-Ha A-Ha, Joe Lycett. And it would
frankly be a mistake to miss out on seeing Bridget Christie‘s latest show, A Book For
Her, which sees the launch of her debut novel, and showcases her trademark blend
of feminism and spectacular comedy.
