A Political Breakfast
Jesters Dublin / PBH's Free Fringe • Semi-professional company
About the show
A Political Breakfast is a free 60-minute political comedy panel show at Lounge on the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, presented by Jesters Dublin. Chaired by Chris O'Neill or Harun Musho'd, the show features up to four comedians (subject to alarm clocks working) and the audience in an absurdly early format. This year, breakfast is also available. The show blends comedy with politics in a relaxed, interactive format — no two performances are quite the same. Suitable for audiences aged 14 and over, with audience participation and strong language.
Why see this show?
Comedy, politics, breakfast, and a panel that depends on alarm clocks — this is the Fringe at its most cheerfully chaotic. Free to attend and open from age 14 upwards, it is a lively way to start the day if you are even mildly interested in current affairs.
