About Hosted by John Norris
Piggy Time is a Fringe variety show hosted by John Norris, gathering together what it bills as the funniest and weirdest comedy acts at the Fringe. The show positions itself as a refuge from ambition and prestige — no press are allowed, no Comedy Awards committee members are admitted. It describes itself as a home for 'beautiful, brave and deranged theatre criminals' and promises both metaphorical and literal comedy punishment. The show runs for 90 minutes at Monkey Barrel 1, Edinburgh Festival Fringe, and is for audiences aged 18 and over. Tickets are £10.
Why see this show?
Piggy Time is a deliberate antidote to the prestige circuit — a chaotic variety show with no press, no awards judges, and no pretension. If you want comedy that feels genuinely free and a little unhinged, this is the 90 minutes for you.
