Work-in-progress shows from two top comedians ahead of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe

MATT FORDE

Matt Forde is currently writing on the new series of Spitting Image as well as voicing the puppets of Boris Johnson, Keir Starmer and Donald Trump.

As seen on Have I Got News For You, The Royal Variety Performance, Mock the Week, The One Show and Question Time.

He hosts The Political Party which was recently listed as the Number 1 political podcast by Mace magazine. His other podcast, British Scandal, regularly tops the Apple Podcasts chart.

His debut book Politically Homeless was an Amazon bestseller and was listed as one of the Sunday Times Political Books of the Year.

"Possibly the best political comedy show on the Fringe" ★★★★★ The Telegraph 

"A first-class comic" The Guardian 

"Singlehandedly fulfilling comedy’s brief of taking our political masters to task. Combining spot-on impressions with up-to-the-minute observations" ★★★★ Mail on Sunday

SARA BARRON

Star of Live at the Apollo, Would I Lie to You, and Frankie Boyle’s New World Order, Sara Barron returns to throw some new ideas at the wall. ‘New ideas’ may include The Joy of Eavesdropping and A Deep-Seeded Fear of the Countryside, but no promises. It should be a sweaty, entertaining mess regardless.

“Explosive energy and beautifully crafted, no-nonsense stand-up... a masterful performance. Highly recommended” ★ ★ ★ ★ Sunday Times

“A wickedly funny show” ★ ★ ★ ★ Scotsman
