Pete Firman

Prepare to be amazed and amused by Britain’s leading comedy magician as he returns to Edinburgh with “the best tricks in the universe”(Independent). After sell-out shows at the festival in 2007/08/09 Pete has established himself as one of Edinburgh’s hottest tickets. Television appearances include ‘Monkey Magic’ (FIVE), ‘Dirty Tricks’ and ‘Derren Brown’s 3D Magic Spectacular’ (Channel4) and ‘For One Night Only’ (ITV1).

“The man from Middlesbrough sets the pace for comedy-meets-magic in the 21st century” - The Times
“Funnier than most comedians and more magical than Dumbledore on a good day” - Time Out
“Fusing jaw-dropping tricks with a fast and furious delivery of gags... A killer combo indeed” - The List

Andrew Bird

As seen on Mock The Week and supporting Rhod Gilbert on his sold-out UK tour

Andrew Bird is seen as just a lad, by everyone except for actual lads. As a white, English, straight, male he has plenty to apologise for.

Everyone’s looking for something to feel part of, whether it’s a sense of national pride, a religion or a drunken stag do. A show about the consequences of trying too hard to be liked by everyone.

“Beautifully observed and insightful... A very funny hour” - Chortle
“There's an undercurrent of wisdom, hope and self-acceptance which delivers more soul than most shows” - Fest
“Effortlessly engaging and funny as hell” - Rhod Gilbert
