event
held at The Room Above
on Friday 14th June. The event starts at 20:00.
2 EDINBURGH PREVIEWS from lovely comedians (and neighbours) Becky Brunning and Martin Pilgrim.
I WRITE JOKES NOT TRAGEDIES
Martin Pilgrim can't go on like this. After spending his twenties writing jokes that kept ending up on BuzzFeed lists with names like '17 tweets for people who still haven't got their shit together', he is nearly 30 and ready for something different.
Can this former poster boy for millennial sadness do the impossible and manage an hour of stand-up without whingeing? Probably not, but you should come and watch anyway.

BLOOM
Funny Women finalist, Broadchurch actor and Most Promising Junior 1998* Becky, accidentally got gay married and now the biological clock is ticking. She brings her new 'nigh-octane' show to reckon with that early potential and ask: err what now? 'Her comedy insinuates itself, forcing its way inexorably through the cracks in her audience’s defences and flourishing there' (BroadwayBaby.com). ★★★★ (TheAustralian.com). *West of England Basketball Association. No further awards.
