Susan Riddell presents a 60-minute stand-up show at Monkey Barrel 4, Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2025. The twist: she has been charged with terrorism following an alleged incident at a weapons factory and is barred from Edinburgh under partial house arrest. Unable to appear in person, she delivers the show as a Zoom gig — which, as she notes, may be the worst punishment of all. Originally planned as a standard Fringe show called How Do You Sleep at Night?, it became something altogether more unusual. Tickets are £13 (12) and the show is for ages 16 and over.
Why see this show?
A stand-up gig delivered via Zoom by a comedian barred from Edinburgh — the premise alone earns your curiosity. Susan Riddell turns her rather extraordinary legal predicament into the hook for a 60-minute show that sounds genuinely unlike anything else at the Fringe.
