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. 🎤

NextUppers!

We’re filming a brand new special with comedian Henning Wehn this Sunday and if he's willing, we’re also grabbing a little Q&A while we’ve got him. 🤩

So: what do you want to ask Henning?

A reminder that anything comedy is fair game. Writing, prep, nerves, heckles, bombing, warm-ups, favourite rooms, how a joke actually makes it into a set, whatever you’re curious about.

Drop your question in the comments below 👇

We’ll pick 3–5 and get Henning to answer!

Answer's must be in by Friday 4pm GMT. 😁

Guess the Comedian 😆

Really want to see if anyone will get it. Guess the NextUp comedian based on this childhood photo of theirs. Hint - they have iconic hair.
