About Carl Donnelly
Carl Donnelly returns to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe with Another Round, a stand-up solo show described as a brutally funny dive into a year like no other. The show covers his own hospitalisation, the harrowing experience of his young daughter's hospital stay battling a serious illness, and some curated morning drinking — all delivered in his characteristically effortless style. A two-time Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee, Donnelly performs 60 minutes at Hive 1, suitable for audiences aged 14 and over.
