About the show

Alison Spittle returns to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2025 with BIG, a stand-up solo show born from a single incident: a man told Alison to sit down and now she has built an entire hour around it. Produced by Show And Tell in association with Parkas and Independent Talent, the show is performed at Monkey Barrel 3. Alison has appeared on House of Games, Celebrity Goggle Box and Pointless Celebrities, and co-hosts Magazine Party, Wheel of Misfortune and Guilty Feminist. The show runs 60 minutes and is suitable for audiences aged 14 and over.

Why see this show?

One small act of condescension turned into a full hour of stand-up — Alison Spittle takes a relatable grievance and spins it into an evening of genuinely funny, sharply observed comedy. A solo show well worth your time at Monkey Barrel 3.
