NextUp Comedy

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. 🎤

What's on this week, NextUppers?! 👀

🎤Fast Fringe, Edinburgh Previews 2026 (Mon): Arthur Smith will again host a manically-paced showcase offering a giddy sample of the Edinburgh Fringe in one fun-packed night. Highlights include musical comedy impressionist Jess Robinson, as heard on Dead Ringers plus stand-up from SNL UK writer Omar Badwy, Traitors series 1 winner and leading podcaster Hannah Byczkowski, and cult favourites John-Luke Roberts and Adam Larter... and SO MANY MORE!

🎤The Bill Murray (Thurs): This comedy night showcases the best talent in the UK and beyond. Lots of their regulars have gone on to appear on Live at the Apollo, on panel shows like Mock The Week or have their own specials on Netflix. It's a friendly place where you get to see tomorrow's stars just before they break big.

I've also got some more #EdFringe lineup clues coming your way. All I can say for now is get those crossword puzzle brains activated for Wednesday...😉
