Top Five: Last Weekend Shows

Top Five: The Last Weekend.


Luke Toulson: Laid Back Grouch.
There's always time for more comedy! Here's some choice cuts from the last few days of the festival:


Commissioned,Tron Theatre, 3 April, 8.30pm, £5-£7
The brainchild of Glasgow-based, Northern Ireland born host Elaine Malcolmson, Commissioned is a night of new comedy commissioned by suggestions on Twitter and Facebook. The chosen subject will form the basis for a night of comedy, stand up, sketches, poetry, music, art, characters and more. 

Rhys James: Begins. Blackfriars Basement. 4 April 9pm. £9/7

"Rhys James is a sickeningly talented young stand-up. He's a super-sharp writer, with a ton of smart, intricately-written jokes and stories where you're never more than a few seconds away from another punchline." Ben Williams, Time Out. Rhys was also named one of the 30 funniest people to follow on twitter by The Telegraph.

Luke Toulson: Laid Back Grouch, The State Bar, 4 April 9pm. £6/£8
Laid Back Grouch is a brutally honest and hilariously funny examination of a life that only comes alive when in front of a microphone.  Luke Toulson is an award-winning, comedian whose 2013 show was selected as one of the Top 10 Comedy Shows at the Edinburgh Fringe.

Stephen Bailey: Work In Progress, The State Bar, 5 April, 8pm. £6/£8
Chatty comic from Big Brother’s Bit On The Side, “Northern, gay, ginger and sharp as a lemon”.

Elaine Malcolmson & Sian Bevan: Jotters, The Griffin, 5 April, 8.30pm. £5
Siân Bevan 'madwoman-come-genius.' (Skinny) and Elaine Malcolmson 'bone-dry and talented...exquisite material' (Edinburgh Evening News) would like to show you the contents of their jotters. Two twisted, funny stories; works in progress from the Glasgow-based comics. 

John Hastings, Blackfriars Basement, 5 April, 9pm. £9/£7
Canadian John moved to the UK and became a better person – hear all about it in his highly observant show. https://twitter.com/thejohnhastings
