Lineup: 

JESSIE NIXON: DON'T MAKE ME REGRET THIS

Jessie Nixon is putting her life on the line for this show. Or at least her livelihood/self-esteem. She's ripped out her heart, covered it in glitter and squirty cream, and offered it to you, still beating. Don't make her regret it. If you're mentally ill, a lapsed catholic, queer, occasionally distraught, too smart for your own good or have ever cried in a changing room: this is for you. As seen on BBC One and BBC Three. Tour support for Fern Brady, Helen Bauer and Lou Sanders.

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.
