Edinburgh has come to a close and we're into tour season. Many of the great shows up at the Fringe will start to tour, alongside shows that haven't been up there.

Here are six shows I'd absolutely recommend catching on tour:

Laura Smyth : Living My Best Life

I love Laura. She's smart, hilarious and says it how it is. She's recently done Live at the Apollo and deserves to be absolutely huge.

Esther Manito : Hell Hath No Fury

I've loved Esther since seeing her first hour at Edinburgh a few years back...and she's on FIRE at the moment. Get in there!

Jordan Gray : Is It A Bird?
https://www.comedy.co.uk/JordanGrayTickets/

If you haven't seen this show yet you must! Jordan won our Biggest Award in Comedy at the fringe last year and went on to do multiple TV performances and a sold out show at the Palladium. The talent is insane.


Josie Long : Re-enchantment
https://josielong.seetickets.com/tour/josie-long

Josie is my favourite. She's political and f*cking funny. Her shows are always perfectly crafted and whilst I haven't seen this one, I will certainly be booking in for the tour.


Rosie Jones : Triple Threat

https://rosiejonescomedy.com/live/

Rosie's a national treasure - a must-see act who keeps getting pushed over by naughty Nish Kumar. She writes for and performs on loads of TV shows and this is your chance to catch her live on stage!

Jen Brister : The Optimist

http://www.jenbrister.co.uk/tour/

Jen is one of the funniest acts on the circuit - her rants are legendary. Definitely catch this tour.

It would be great to be able to see what has already been watched or how much has been watched. Just a progress line under the icons would be helpful

I got a reminder from my calendar but there’s no show link in the app calendar. All FW social media still talking about a streaming partner so I’m a bit confused

Is there any way to watch the Fringe shows on catchup?

Couldn't get to Edinburgh this year but one of the few shows I managed to see in Previews was Phil Ellis. Thought I'd take a look at the the stream to see what it was like in its proper setting and ended up watching the whole show again. Hugely enjoyable, but glad it wasn't in 3D.

Hi guys
Is there any way you could set up a tip jar for yourself as I'm sure a lot of us would love to give you guys a little something for a drink (or meal) to say thanks for all your hard work over the last month bringing us all these shows.
Your hard work is much appreciated by all of us especially the ones like me who can't get out to live events easily.
As a event Tec myself I know how much goes in to one event but 50+ how the hell did you do it Carlos will be untangling cables till Christmas.
So BIG BIG thanks to all
Martin & Carolyn

Just quickly between shows popped in here to say thank you for an excellent fringe lineup. On Sunday I’ll be running between shows for real and am sad to be missing the Sunday streaming lineup even to be in Edinburgh in person.

Was anyone else aware NextUp have a live stream channel on Virgin 242? It appears to be streaming Jazz Emu live now (even though the planner said Shaparak Koursandi was live between 9-10pm. The odd thing is, the show is being interrupted by adverts. Guessing this is actually live as we're missing bits of the show.

Does anyone have a list of shows that will be streamed there for the final weekend? Only just found it and there's nothing I can find about it on the app.

Edit - I've got notification of 3 replies to this post, bit for some reason I can't now see any of them. Not sure if they've been deleted for some reason or if there's a fault with the app?

We're nearly ready to head up to the fringe again so thought it might be good to share some highlights of 2022 to wet your whistles...

1) We launched our 'Biggest Award in Comedy' and the incredible Jordan Gray won it - going on to perform at the Palladium in London and on numerous TV shows. 

2)We streamed over 60 shows, with themes of gout, death and ADHD coming up a LOT last year (thank you lockdown!)...wonder what 2023's trends will be? (guesses in the comments below please).

3) Jason dyed his hair in NU green in support.

4) We streamed The Wrestling. It was epic.

4) Our flat had a power outage at a crucial moment, so Carlos had to cadge power from the bar below (health and safety please!!).

5) We tried out some striking new posters.

6) Dan's mum was texting him from London about the laughter in the room of one of our live streams. 

7) The bin men went on strike. 

8) Bonus content: we were reminded of our first NU fringe - the NextUp baby is now SIX!
