John Tothill is a stand-up comedian who in 2024 had his appendix burst onstage. Now he returns with a new hour set in his own personal paradise, where he attempts to monetise what body parts he has left. The show blends deadpan self-deprecation with observations on survival, ambition and the absurdity of carrying on. It runs for 60 minutes at the Beneath venue during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and is suitable for those aged 14 and over. No content warnings are listed.
Why see this show?
John Tothill has a genuinely singular voice — deadpan, self-aware and quietly strange. A comedian whose body failed him onstage and who has turned the aftermath into an hour of stand-up. One of those shows you'll be glad you caught.
