Award-winning comedian and proud brit, Raul Kohli is the son of a Hindu Indian and Sikh Singaporean, raised in Newcastle Upon Tyne, where his best friend was a Pakistani Muslim.

He has lived in every corner of this glorious nation and is fascinated by the diversity of these small isles. Imagine his surprise to hear from politicians and the media that “multiculturalism has failed”. One of the best comedians in England (BBC Radio 4) explores what it means to be British.

“The most important show of the Fringe” Chortle

ON SALE FRIDAY, FEB 28: 10am

Jason Manford returns with his massively-successful live show, A Manford All Seasons.

After trying out new material at the Gatehouse last year, he’s coming back with the finished show – more polished, more jokes and funnier than ever.

A Manford All Seasons has been wowing audiences and critics alike, with his iconic ‘expert observational comedy’ (The Guardian) rated as ‘comic gold’ (Mail on Sunday).

Don’t miss the chance to see Britain’s brightest stand-up comic on your doorstep.

GSP follow up recent successes with Old Herbaceous, Three Men in a Boat and What’s Wrong with Benny Hill with a new play about Sir John Falstaff…a rogue, a philanderer and a glutton, but also one of Shakespeare’s greatest and enduring comic creations.

In this new comedy by Simon Downing we find Falstaff, played by Giles Shenton (Old Herbaceous & Three Men in a Boat) in his bedroom in the Boars Head being nursed by Mistress Quickly.

The creditors arrive demanding payment. Will Falstaff resort to marrying Mistress Quickly in order to pay off his debts?

Will he turn teetotal? Will he mellow in his old age?

Find out the answers to all these important questions that Shakespeare never bothered to answer and join Falstaff and Mistress Quickly for an evening of jollity, frivolity, a definite lack of coequality and more Shakespearean insults than ever previously heard on a theatrical stage!

BACK BY HUGE POPULAR DEMAND

Champion of the Black Country, Jonny Cole is one of the most unique, exciting and hilariously funny acts to come out of the Black Country and unstoppable force in musical comedy.

Comparisons to Jasper Carrott and Tim Minchin (depending on the reviewers age) tell only half the story. One of the freshest and funniest new comedians to hit the comedy circuit in the last few years.

Jonny Cole is packing out comedy clubs everywhere. With his individual patter and commentary on life, coupled with his original songs, he is being described as a ‘breath of fresh air’.

Never forgetting his ‘Black Country’ roots Jonny has written original songs about life, love and loss (his Xbox) with hilarious results.

BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND

This is not a musical. Milton Jones is tone deaf and has no sense of rhythm, but at least he doesn’t make a song and dance about it.

He has more important things to discuss. Like giraffes…and there’s a bit about tomatoes.

You might know him from Mock the Week, Live at the Apollo or Radio 4. Or that time he stood for the Scottish National Party, fought a hard campaign, but in the end had to respect the wishes of the people of Cardiff.

A whole new show of daftness. You know it makes sense.

WARNING: Contains jokes from the start.

*In the sense that the man presenting it has social skills, limited though they be.

Second half: John presents his acclaimed EdFringe show The Human Hurricane – expect sex, crowdsurfs, crowdwork, songs, callbacks to the first half, and somehow even less structure!
