Angelos Epithemious: Can I Just Show You What I’ve Got?

Unwitting star of Shooting Stars (BBC2), Dave’s One Night Stand and Channel 4’s The Angelos Epithemiou Show, cult favourite Angelos Epithemiou takes a giant leap into the spotlight yet again in this shambolic, weird and wonderful show.

Think Little Britain meets Vic and Bob meets a smattering of Tommy Cooper and then lower your expectations and get on board.

Angelos Epithemiou is the creation of critically acclaimed performer, Dan Renton Skinner, who has starred in such blockbuster films as The Spy Who Dumped Me, High Rise, and Swallows and Amazons for BBC Films and such TV serial-classics as The Tracy Ullman Show, Friday Night Dinner, and The Wrong Mans.

TODAY - 8.45pm

Rob Mulholland: Allegations

‘Allegations’ is the debut tour from Rob Mulholland; seasoned stand-up comedian, podcaster (Dead Men Talking) and one of the kings of the North's burgeoning DIY comedy scene.
A wild, high-energy barrage of belly laughs covering all the topics you're not really meant to talk about.
"Mulholland’s language and content may be a tad startling to some, but don’t be fooled into assuming that he’s some one-dimensional shock-comic looking to offend for notoriety’s sake. His material is clever, layered and acutely observed." Joe.co.uk
One of Rolling Stone's 12 Must-See Shows at the Fringe

TODAY - 5.15pm

Kieran Hodgson Saves America (WIP)

The United States is having a real cheeky one at the moment, and four-time Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee Kieran Hodgson is trying to work out why.
Expect a host of ill-informed political observations and an attempt to make a Roosevelt impression mainstream. Also, Kieran is now wearing a denim jacket on stage, so this show represents an important stylistic evolution for him. Come see it!
