About RBM
Eli Matthewson brings Night Terror to Edinburgh: a new hour of stand-up storytelling from one of New Zealand's best comedians, presented by RBM. In 2023, his boyfriend tried to kill him in his sleep — and they are still going strong. From that remarkable premise, Matthewson spins a story about theft, anxiety and unforgettable biscuits. The show runs for 60 minutes at The Wee Coo and is suitable for ages 14 and over. Tickets start from £8.
Why see this show?
A stand-up hour built around one of the more startling opening premises you will hear at the Fringe. Matthewson turns genuine anxiety into comedy that is light on its feet, and the storytelling holds together from the first line to the last.
