SUMMARY:Comedy : EDINBURGH OR BUST SIMON EVANS & RIA LINA
DESCRIPTION:EDINBURGH OR BUST DOUBLE BILL\nEvery year in August\, the Edinburgh Fringe Festival is THE place to see stand up comedians hone their brand new solo shows in preparation for national touring. This is your opportunity to see these work-in-progress shows before the Fringe and before they go on tour.\n\nSIMON EVANS: STARING AT THE SUN\nAn odd title\, but those familiar with Plato will understand the reference\, as will those familiar with Donald J Trump. Simon Evans hits 60 this year\, and perhaps more significantly his daughter hits 21 and his son 18. He no longer needs to think of the children; his time is short and with no more shackles on his instinct\, he’ll give you the raw\, unlubricated truth.\n“A masterclass” The Scotsman\nRIA LINA: RIABELLION\nFollowing her killer debut tour\, Riawakening\, the wickedly funny Ria Lina returns with a riotous Work in Progress before she hits the road again in Autumn 2025. Expect a relentless stream of hilarity as Ria explores the eternal battle of the sexes\, the delight in throwing life up in the air after years of following the rules\, and the art of radical indifference. Much loved in the industry\, this multi-award winner commands the stage with a whirlwind of energy and leaves audiences breathless with laughter.\n“Fearless\, provocative and very funny… wonderfully on-the-edge stuff… There isn’t a comedy venue in the country that shouldn’t be fighting for her” The Scotsman

SUMMARY:Comedy: Carey Marx
DESCRIPTION:Stand Up For The Weekend with Carey Marx featuring Abigoliah Schamaun and Tom Toal\n\nStand Up For The Weekend is our weekly comedy show featuring top circuit headliners and guest acts plus incredibly funny and engaging comperes who host the show. A choice of table seats\, reserved row seats and unreserved row seats are available.\n\n\nHeadliner: CAREY MARX\nCarey Marx is an unapologetic gagsmith. The jokes are short and sharp\, often uncomfortably so\, as any morality is sacrificed on the altar of quick laughs. And there’s no better way of guaranteeing a reaction than storming headlong into decidedly dodgy territory.\n\nThere’s plenty here for the connoisseur of comedy writing. The lines are efficient\, original and potent – and rarely fail to blindside the audience. \nAnd they come at a blistering rate\, thanks to a hugely economical delivery. He doesn’t go out of the way to befriend an audience\, yet there is a subtle charm and intelligence to him\, even when the material is blatantly offensive. \n\n“Hilariously demented” Edinburgh Evening News\n“Anecdotally debauched … But if his lines are frequently sick\, they’re elegantly written\, too\, and there’s a childlike glee to his naughtiness.” The Herald
