NextUp Comedy

Pinned posts

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. 🎤 Welcome to The Pub! 🗣️This is the bit of the community that’s less “what’s on this week” and more “what are we all chatting about”.Think of it like the pub after the gig (a big thank you to Indulis for the inspiration!) Just a place to hang out, talk nonsense, answer silly polls, share opinions and generally loiter...I’ll be dropping the odd BTS or mildly pointless thought in here 😉, and you’re very welcome to do the same. Join in loads, dip in occasionally or you know, just sit in the corner nursing a drink. All acceptable pub behaviour!Pull up a chair and make yourself at home.Cheers!

At this rate just push it back to 9pm so we can get on with our evenings instead of being stuck to a device refreshing. V frustrating as rushed back from work for no reason and could have spent the last 20mins being productive and cooking dinner instead of this. I'm v sympathetic to tech issues and delays but recently the lack of basic communication is disappointing.

My first stream of the fringe tonight too, quite disappointing been quite ill recently and perpetually tired as I'm going through radiotherapy after having an operation for mouth cancer

Latest Fringe Line-Up!

Hi gang,

Here's the latest Edinburgh Fringe line-up.

The Monkey Barrel Big Show tonight also just announced its incredible line-up: Carl Donnelly, Jonny Pelham, Adam Flood, Ria Lina, and more!

Apologies if some of the acts you were looking forward to have changed. These things are outside of our control, but we always replace comedians and add shows when that happens, rather than letting the line-up shrink. Thank you for understanding. The Edinburgh Fringe is a challenging event for performers and production companies, which often throws in a few curveballs.

Will the Festival livestreams also be available later in the year - normally September - as has been the case in recent years? Like to see as many as I can, but also have tickets for the Festival in person! Thanks

Livestream Recommendation

Now that the Livestream list is out, what one show is everyone most excited for?

Mine is Graham and Steen - Graham Dickson is my favourite Austrntatious cast member so anything with him doing improv is an instant must-watch for me.
