“Free flowing, sharp and snappy stand-up with wickedly funny killer punchlines…a definite must-see act” Fringe Times
9pm (1hr)
Simon Munnery
Simon shares a preview of his new stand-up hour. If you insist on TV and award credits before deciding whether or not to go and watch a comedian live then here you go… As seen on BBC2’s Stewart Lee’s Comedy Vehicle, The Culture Show, Comedy Central’s The Alternative Comedy Experience and Radio 4’s News Quiz, plus a British Comedy Award nominee, Chortle Award winner, Perrier Award nominee and Sony Radio Award winner. His strand of comedy is truly unique, very left-field, surreal, sharp and funny and the antidote to the plethora of bland MOR diatribe stand-up saturating comedy stages out there at the moment and very much an ambassador of the original alternative comedy circuit that reinvented stand-up back in the late 80’s.
“There’s something utterly refreshing about Munnery’s shows. You come out feeling like you’ve had a bath, an afternoon nap or a walk in the woods” Scotsman
“One of the all-time great British stand-ups” Stewart Lee
A hand-picked selection of The Comedy Cellar’s finest headline acts perform their full-length work-in-progress shows in preparation for the world-famous Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

Reginald D Hunter - Fluffy Fluffy Beavers
For years, Reginald D Hunter has been misinterpreted as a controversial comedian because of his show titles despite his repeated objections that he is not a controversial comedian. He has penned Fluffy Fluffy Beavers with some hope to rehabilitate his persona by manifesting images of well-coiffed river creatures building dams of chocolate in rivers of candy, whilst continually delivering pressure inducing ideas to form diamonds of laughter.
‘Arguably the most accomplished act in the comedy section of your Fringe brochure’ (Scotsman).
‘Stand-up comedy’s coolest customer’ (Telegraph). ‘Comedy of a rare scope’ ***** (Times).
