About Basil Bottler
Basil Bottler, the galaxy's laziest comedian and self-employed astronaut, returns to the Fringe with a new one-off comedy show at Maggie's Front Room. After taking the previous year off because he couldn't be bothered, Basil is back with jokes, songs, and poems — but mostly a lot of laziness. This character comedy runs for 60 minutes and is strictly for adults aged 18 and over. Tickets are £2.50.
Why see this show?
Cult underground comedy that refuses to try too hard and is all the funnier for it. Basil Bottler's particular brand of cardboard-and-chaos character work is a Fringe one-off — catch him if he's not feeling too tired.
