Alex Kitson: This is Water

Two young fish are swimming along. An older fish swims by and says, "Morning, boys! How's the water?" The two young fish look at each other, and keep swimming. After a while, one says to the other, "What the hell is water?"

The ISH Edinburgh Comedy Awards Newcomer Nominee follows up last year’s multi-award-nominated, five-star cult hit with a new hour of fast paced, critically-acclaimed stand-up. Let’s work out what we’re all swimming in.

Tour Support for Fin Taylor, Tom Ward and Vittorio Angelone.
