Andrew Watts was gaining a reputation as a 'politely passionate, political, beautifully expressed and very funny' ***** (Chortle.co.uk) comedian, when he gave it all up to work for a Conservative MP. Now he’s back, with a show about spending the last five years nowhere near the thick of it. 'Lovers of stand-up laced with a cerebral cutting-edge should flock to his show' **** (ThreeWeeks). 'We are all very sad when his clever, personal and very funny hour comes to an end... An intelligent, grown up feminist show. With great jokes' **** (Scotsman).

About the show

Andrew Watts gave up stand-up comedy to work for a Conservative MP, and now he is back with Love Tory — a show about spending five years nowhere near the thick of it. Presented by Andrew Watts / Free Festival at Basement Bar, Edinburgh Festival Fringe, the show is a political stand-up hour that is personal, cerebral and, according to its own description, genuinely funny. Running 50 minutes, it is suitable for adults aged 18 and over, with tickets at £2.50.

Why see this show?

A political comedian returning from an unlikely detour through actual politics — the premise alone earns curiosity. At £2.50, this is one of the best-value hours at the Fringe, and it sounds like it delivers well beyond its price point.
