IVO GRAHAM & STEVE BUGEJA - EDINBURGH PREVIEWS

  • The Wardrobe Theatre The Old Market Assembly, 25 West Street Bristol, BS2 0DF (map)

Sun 16 July 2023 | 7.30pm | £10

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

IVO GRAHAM: ORGANISED FUN (WORK-IN-PROGRESS)

After dismantling a barge (Taskmaster), doxxing himself in the Doubletree (Off Menu), and blanking on the 1992 Ipswich Town crest (University Challenge), Ivo ropes his audience into more chaos against the clock.

Humiliation's your thing, right? His brother asked him at Christmas, and with the full existential ramifications of that still being processed, he's lining up a show with more risk than ever before (NB: previous shows have broadly been quite low risk).

Expect quizzes, tangents and fluster.

STEVE BUGEJA: SELF DOUBT (I THINK) - WORK-IN-PROGRESS

The creator and star of ITV2’s hit sitcom Buffering returns to the fringe following five critically acclaimed shows.

He’s appeared on Stand Up Central (Comedy Central), Zoe Ball On Sunday (ITV), Love Island Aftersun (ITV2) and was the host of Radio 4’s Economics With Subtitles. This year he’s discussing babies, eye tests and the time he went on holiday with 20 women.

“Steve's a charming, likeable stand-up with a set packed with gags” Sunday Post

“An eye for comic detail that's all his own” Guardian

“Plentiful jokes and compelling storytelling” Scotsman
