Book NowAbout the show
Alan Jay and Matthew Hayhow bring their double bill of stand-up comedy to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, performing at the Garden Room. Alan Jay has been listed on the BBC New Comedy Shortlist and is an LGBTQ+ Comedian Semi-Finalist, while Matthew Hayhow has appeared on BBC Upload and BBC Radio Scotland. The show is described as a hilariously obscene double bill from a homosexual comedian and a disabled comedian, running 60 minutes and admitted free of charge to audiences aged 18 and over.
Why see this show?
Two distinct comic voices — one LGBTQ+, one disabled — share a stage for a free show that is refreshingly blunt about identity. A genuine double bill from two Scottish comedians with BBC credentials, it is a perfect Fringe discovery for those who enjoy stand-up with something to say.
