Fresh Faces At The Free Fringe
"Two Shows For The Price Of None"
 Following
his 2005 award nominated show, “Desperately Seeking Sorrow”,
Danny Worthington returns to the Edinburgh Fringe with “Fresh Faces At
The Free Fringe” from the 12th - 18th of August where he hosts
some of the newest acts in comedy, 5 or more different acts
every day. Some of these acts can
measure their comedy careers in months, others a little longer.
If you like your comedy in small chunks this could be the show
for you.
The show is taken over in it's second week 19th - 25th of August
by the Mersey Uncut Comedy Kollective. Where there is MUCK there
is funny
MUCK is the Mersey Uncut Comedy Kollective. It is that rare
thing in the bitchy, back biting world of comedy – a collective
support and development group of amateur comedians. Despite
their mutual loathing and each individuals sense they are the
‘special one’, they pull together for the greater comedic good.
This brief romantic fling between the Free
Fringe and MUCK is a dirty week made in heaven – both believe in
comedy more than profit.
MUCK has a nationally recognised website & forum, standing gig
venues, workshops, fortnightly meetings and a pet llama. Go to
Muckcomedy.com for details.
Forget your Scouse stereotypes of curly-haired, moustachioed men
saying ‘Calm Down’ – only Paula comes near to that and she has
straight hair. No MUCK (or MCUK on the T shirt) is comic
diversity on a stick.
 The
main headliner during the week is Paul Smith who is the star of
a BBC2 documentary ‘Back in Business’ on the life of a rising
young comedian to show in September 07, and for one show special
the acid tongued Eddie Hoo.
The stand up ground troops in the trenches with their six minute
sets range from a coffin dodging bestialist, through a hippy
with an oxygen tank strapped to his back and an American comic
still lost in
Liverpool.
The whole anarcho syndicalist collective are John Glennon (what
happens when a dyslexic names himself after a Beatle), Eddie
Tyrell (who really does look like Paul McCartney for some
suspicious reason), Andy Rannard, Kev, Dave Jonker, Ian McNally,
Joel Ross, Stephen Porter, Paul Smith, Scooby, Jam and last and
least Ben Oldbloke.
