Tom Rosenthal's stand-up show Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I Am is presented by Avalon at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Known from Friday Night Dinner and Plebs, Rosenthal brings a new hour of comedy to the Upstairs venue in August 2025. The description draws a playful parallel with the Arctic Monkeys album of a similar name — positioning Rosenthal's observational squawking and sharp jokes about subjects like Wimbledon, Daniel Radcliffe and some weather as potential new classics. Running 60 minutes, suitable for ages 14 and over.
Why see this show?
A stand-up hour built around wit and observational storytelling from a comedian with a knack for finding the absurd in the everyday. The show wears its influences lightly and promises jokes with the potential to stick.
