Clownster Comedy

So, yes, this is another comedy review site (like Chortle… only less professional, exhaustive or well written) but these are just my opinions so hardly deserve gospel status. I have been watching live comedy for around 15 years and I have to say that I 100% admire anyone who has the guts to take to a spot lit stage in front of an unknown crowd armed with just a microphone and their wits. It’s a profession that I know I could not do and for that I doff my tiny bowler hat to them.

Amy Webber: No Previous Experience (2023)

So, this is a slightly unusual one for us as we didn't actually get to see the show. During our recent spell at the Brighton Fringe, we had tickets to see another clown, Amy Webber, but as we neared show... Continue Reading →

Kaisa Pylkkänen: No Penis, No Knowledge (2023)

Over the years we have seen some truly epic clowns performing comedy in their second language - shout out to Ari Eldjarn and Yuriko Kotani - so when we heard that Finland's reigning "Comedian of The Year" was in town we... Continue Reading →

Eddy Mackenzie: Music A ‘Plenty (2023)

"Small but perfectly formed... which is almost the exact opposite of what the doctor said to my mother at my birth", this was the opening line from our clown for the evening when he saw the crowd that he would... Continue Reading →

Eshaan Akbar: The Pretender (2023)

At some point last year, I was sitting at home relaxing when I received a phone call from a very drunk and very over-excited, pal of mine. I think it was a Tuesday afternoon but this wasn't an unusual occurrence... Continue Reading →

Fin Taylor: Daddy Self-Care (2023)

It's a bitterly cold Wednesday night down on Cardiff Bay, I'm in town to catch up with a one of my best pals and we are in desperate need of entertaining. The fluffy snow has been replaced with sleety rain... Continue Reading →

Robin Morgan: Snip Snip, Bitch (2023) 

Back in Edinburgh for the start of 2023 and I’m introducing a pal to the delights of the city - ridiculously we’d just seen Hibs win 6-0, so we were truly on a pretty remarkable high! - And I couldn’t possibly do... Continue Reading →

Nick Mohammed: A Christmas Carol-ish… by Mr Swallow (2022) 

It’s a strange feeling to be truly gutted that a clown has had to cancel their Fringe run due to other commitments. Whilst also being genuinely dead chuffed that those ‘other commitments’ have led to back-to-back Emmy Nominations for one... Continue Reading →

Mark Thomas: Black and White (2022)

It's lunchtime in Edinburgh towards the end of the Fringe. We were sitting in the Nightcap on York Place and I had just ordered my second Corpse Reviver No.2 (the absinthe was key). As I say, it was lunchtime, so... Continue Reading →

Lauren Pattison: It Is What It Is (2022)

We have waited for years for this, no literally! More than two years ago we saw this clown on a mixed bill at the Monkey Barrel and said "we have to see this clowns next solo show". It should have... Continue Reading →
