(plus blog exclusive BONUS at the bottom) -All Times in BST- It's Getting Hot-ene, So Tell Me All Your Jokes

ree

"A kiwi passport, a mix of observational and absurd jokes and a Maori name to put it all together. Hoani is an award-winning comic from Aotearoa who brings a show with a ton of heart and all his jokes over from the other side of the world." Hoani Hotene (pronounced Hot-in-ee) is a rising Ginger-Kiwi comedian (of which I am sure there are a lot), who is bringing his talent to Edinburgh! Aug 2-25 00:10 - 01:05 (55 mins) Hoot 6 at Hoots @ The Apex Link

Adele Cliff: Adele, Adele, Adele... Cliff It Isn't the Consequences of My Own Actions



ree

"Adele uses her gag-heavy style and penchant for silliness to tackle the topic of lying and why we do it (or does she?)" Three-time winner of Dave's Joke of the Fringe, Cliff is back to pun it up in Edinburgh. 17:05 - 18:05 (1hr) July 31, Aug 1-11, Aug 13-24 Just the Cask Room at Just the Tonic at The Mash House Link

Glenn Moore: Please Sir, Glenn I Have Some Moore?

ree

Glenn Moore is back with another play on his name following last years "Will You Still Love Me Glenn I'm Sixty-Moore?" Is he a genius, or blessed with a pun-ready name? 17:30 - 18:30 (1hr) Jul 30-31, Aug 1-11, 14-24 Forth at Pleasance Courtyard Link

Chris Scott: I Just Want Some Extra Time And Your... Chris!

ree

"Bringing unflinching punchlines and a bit of devilment to the stage, his why not attitude has seen him appear in an underwear ad, perform at an S&M club and host shows on a boat for indie-music darlings Belle and Sebastian. Chris has had a pretty fun life, but after a recent run of setbacks, has the fun stopped?"


A man whose Twitter bio says: "Tall. Husband to a murdered wife, father to a murdered son, I will have my vengeance." Maybe the fun has stopped.

16:40 - 17:40 (1hr) Aug 1-11, 13-25 Hoot 6 at Hoots @ The Apex Link

Jake Baker: My Jakey Bakey Heart

ree

"The multiple award-winner returns with his most personal show yet — about love, hope and cutlery."


Get a chance to get to know Jake, for free, pretty good deal! 16:30 - 17:30 (1hr) Aug 2-11, 13-24 Lower at PBH's Free Fringe @ Canons' Gait Link




BLOG EXCLUSIVE BONUS Dylan Adler: Haus of Dy-lan


ree

"Dylan is a classically trained pianist turned unhinged gay musical comic. His hour is injected with songs, personal anecdotes, even acrobatics. Dylan talks about growing up with a gay twin, racial identity, getting bullied in school, and screaming at your therapist. All woven together by jaunty musical themes. By the end of the show he will be drenched in sweat and with any luck, so will you." He has written on some big-time comedy shows, and is classically trained, so you're getting top-notch from both fronts!


19:30 - 20:30 (1hr)

Jul 30-31, Aug 1-11, 13-22 Beside at Pleasance Courtyard Link
