Stephen Carlin: Edinburgh Fringe/Glasgow Haircut is a 60-minute stand-up comedy show performed by Stephen Carlin at The Waverley. Carlin draws on decades of Scottish pessimism and cynicism to find dark comedy in the current state of the world, from the political to the personal. The show riffs on Armageddon as a great leveller and what it means to be right about everything after all. It includes strong language and contains distressing or potentially triggering themes. Strictly for audiences aged 18 and over.
Why see this show?
Stephen Carlin turns Scottish pessimism into a genuine comic art form. If you like your stand-up dry, dark, and built on actual convictions rather than crowd-pleasing takes, this is sixty minutes well spent at The Waverley.
