Benny Boot:
After selling every single seat in his last two Edinburgh shows, one of the most original stand-ups is back this August with the very best of his unprecedented jokes. It is extremely rare these days to find a stand-up who is as unique in his material and delivery as Benny is, and subsequently he just has too many hits!
Benny rocks out the classics in his own inimitable style. Relive some quality jokes and stuff.

Felicity Ward
Having had such an incredible Fringe in 2012 with her critically acclaimed, award-winning deeply personal show, The Hedgehog Dilemma, it was near-on impossible to believe that Felicity Ward would surpass herself in 2013.
But indeed she did, and now she has become one of the Fringe’s most favourite of performers.

Sammy J
Fringe favourite Sammy J thought it would be humorous to fly from Melbourne to Edinburgh, perform just one show, then fly home again. This is that show.
Known and loved for his catchy, filthy, nerdy musical comedy stylings, Sammy J has stuffed his hand luggage full of his favourite songs and plans to rock out for precisely 58 minutes before returning to the airport. If nobody laughs, it’s going to be a long flight home.
VENUE: Udderbelly, Bristo Square
TIME: 10.50pm
ONE DATE ONLY! Catch Sammy on Friday, August 1
PRICE: £15
TICKETS: 0844 545 8252 / Underbelly.co.uk
