Headline set from star of Stewart Lee's Alternative Comedy Vehicle & NETFLIX's KAOS... TONY LAW!

Tony Law is one of those ‘once seen never forgotten’ acts. He’s really like nothing you’ve ever seen been before and if he’s on the bill the show is a real ‘dont miss this’. No wonder then that this Canadian surrealist and master story-teller is a three-time Chortle Award winner, Amused Moose Best Show winner and Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee.
This super funny lunatic always presents nonsense, absurdity and dollops of weird joy. Expect to hear and see anything from history and ghosts, and cats and dogs and wars and ducks and Britophilia. The older man with a childish mind and a naughty streak is always entertaining and original and naturally funny but not afraid to do simple shouty silly voices.
His extensive TV and radio credits include:
Have I Got News For You(BBC One), The Alternative Comedy Experience (Comedy Central), 8 Out Of 10 Cats (Channel 4), Celebrity Mastermind (BBC One), Celebrity Squares (ITV) Never Mind The Buzzcocks (BBC Two), Heading Out (BBC Two), The Culture Show (BBC Two), Charlie Brooker’s Weekly Wipe (BBC Two), Edinburgh Nights (BBC Two), Tony Law’s Surreal Guide To Surreal Comedy (Radio 4 Extra), Loose Ends and Infinite Monkey Cage (Radio 4).
“Takes post-modern stand-up to a dangerously funny new level” The Guardian
‘The King of post-modern nonsense” Telegraph

Plus TAL DAVIES and new material from star of Live at the Apollo DARREN HARRIOTT!

Edinburgh Fringe Preview Show from.....

AIDAN JONES!

"Chopin's Nocturne"

In the performers own words:

I grew up playing classical piano, but failed my conservatory audition at 18. After some time focusing on M**A, I started stand-up comedy. During the pandemic I came back to the piano and now I've combined them. It's my favourite piece, Chopin's Nocturne in Eb Major, presented with jokes by a bald, Australian di****ad with a beard.

Best Comedy, Adelaide Fringe Weekly.

'Sidesplittingly funny' (Guardian).

'Will leave you laughing for days on end' ***** (Advertiser, Adelaide).

'This should not work, but it does' ***** (List).
