NextUp Comedy

Pinned posts

Get ready for Edinburgh Fringe 2026!🥳🎉If you're new here, Fringe, the biggest arts festival in the world, is legendary for launching comedy stars…but it’s also legendary for completely draining your bank account. But the good news is we're doing the heavy lifting (and the walking) for you. 🤫 We’ve scouted the absolute best rising comics and we're streaming the festival's hottest shows straight to your screen. This August, get ready for pure, unfiltered, front-row Fringe brilliance from the comfort of your couch. Oh, and obviously you guys will be the first to know about the lineup...coming soon! Any predictions/wishes/desires/dreams? 🤗 Welcome to Ask a Comedian - our little corner of the NextUp community for getting closer to the people who do the mindblowing, and surprisingly full-on job of making people laugh. 🎭This channel is a place to drop questions for comedians about anything comedy. From writing and finding ideas, prep and pre-show routines, nerves and confidence, gigs that went great (and gigs that didn’t) to touring, crowd work, heckles, bombing, you name it! Ask what you’re curious about, whether you’re a comedy nerd, a casual watcher, or someone who performs. Keep it respectful (obvs!)How it works: We’ll post when we're meeting up with a comedian to film their special or chatting with them, you leave your questions in the comments and we’ll pick 3–5 to put to them, and share the answers back here. 🎤

Loving rewind. Getting streaming issues every so often, not sure if just me?

Not caught all shows but stand out new find for me has been Sam Eley.

Hello. Adam Flood's Rewind stream has the same audio sync issue at the end as the livestream did. Any chance you can fix it? Happens around 46'50

Happy Rewind Weekend! 😍

Yaaaay! Who is the first comedian you're watching? (Don't forget all 5 of 'The Big Shows' are also available) Personally I'm heading straight to Felicity Ward! 🤣

Suggestion: search by length of video.

I found myself looking for a 45 minute show tonight - Josh Jones a great pick.

We had so much fun last weekend, thank you to those who came. It's been great to hear (and read) your reviews - can't wait for these shows to come out on NextUp. 🤩

It was a great show last night - when the performances make it to NextUp both are really worth a watch! They were great shows to see in combination as well - cheers for the invite to a wonderful evening.

I wrote a short review here.
