Mark Watson Presents: Fresh for the Fringe

Why break the bank and go to the Fringe when you can have Mark Watson bring it to you? The gangly Taskmaster star himself has hand-picked his favourite performers to premier their shows at the Edinburgh Fringe, but before that he’s sending them to you!

Sam Nicoresti

A glistening new stand-up show about losing your mind, finding it again and the hunt for the perfect skirt suit.

During a stressful house move, burgeoning trans icon Sam Nicoresti felt themselves leave their body. From a comedy night in a care home to the standing stones of Cornwall, this is the story of the journey home.

'One of the definitive documents of the trans experience in stand-up' Chortle

“A must for lovers of comedy that is daft but also deft.” Evening Standard

“Nicoresti is an auteur” Fest.

Lulu Popplewell

After a sell-out debut, Lulu returns with a second hour of hilarious confessional stand-up! With an emotional support dog, and an emotional support piano, she asks: What is love? The warm feeling of safety or the darkest throes of mental illness? Lulu explores what love really means and whether it's actually worth all the bother, with pit-stops at vicars, pure OCD, and the bisexual implications of Disney's Robin Hood.
