ASSEMBLY GEORGE SQUARE | DANS PALEIS & SPIEGELTENT
BUG HOSTED BY ADAM BUXTON
COMIC STRIP
The Edinburgh debut of The BFI’s smash-hit show. Sony Awardwinning Adam Buxton shows you the most extraordinary and downright hilarious music videos, plus other odds & sods he thinks you might like, in his own inimitable style.
Comic Strip is a night of stand up and strip tease, a night of belly laughs and nipple tassels, a night of punch lines and pasties. After a bumper sell-out season at the Adelaide Fringe this cult hit is coming to Assembly. A tag team decathlon of the Fringe’s best stand ups and Burlesque artistes all in one deluxe night out!

LATE NIGHT GIMP FIGHT!
SO YOU THINK YOU’RE FUNNY?
The 2010 Foster’s Edinburgh Comedy Award Best Newcomer Nominees and 2011 Chortle Award winners Late Night Gimp Fight are back with a brand new show.
The best stand-up comedy competition in the UK for the last 24 years - after nationwide showcases we are now down to the best from hundreds of entries - see them battle it out to the Grand Final. Previous winners include Dylan Moran, David O’Docherty, Peter Kay, Tommy Tiernan, Lee Mack and loads more.
Phil McIntyre Entertainments
Directed by Steve Marmion, Artistic Director of Soho Theatre, this is an hour of fast paced, off-the-wall and deliciously dark sketches that will leave you feeling violated… but only in a good way. Expect a battery of brilliant sketches, inspired songs and of course gimps, all combined to create ‘the perfect late night festival show’ (Hairline). Total Sell-out 2010. www.latenightgimpfight.com | twitter: @gimpfight

The final was the biggest gig I had ever done. Peter Kay hosted it and Russell Howard, Jimmy Carr, Andy Zaltzman and Josie Long were in the final. Winning it definitely gave me the confidence to keep writing the sort of stupid crappy jokes and songs I still do today DAVID O’DOHERTY SYTYF was the first competition I entered. I’d been doing stand up for about six months. Getting to the final was probably the most exciting moment of my life. It was the moment when I thought, “I’m not as bad at this as I thought”.
