Google Shannon BrookeAbout Shannon Brooke
100 Million Fish in the Aquarium is a 60-minute stand-up and storytelling show by Shannon Brooke at The Wee Tap, Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2026. Following her 2025 debut show A Horseless Rodeo, Shannon returns with a show about being diagnosed with OCD after a lifetime of performing ridiculous compulsions. The show explores that experience alongside other things, with Shannon described as walking a tightrope between the absurd, the honest, the dark and the heartfelt. Suitable for ages 18+ due to strong language, tickets are £5.
Why see this show?
Shannon Brooke's second Fringe show balances real personal territory — an OCD diagnosis — with absurdist comedy and sharp storytelling. The combination of sunniness and edge makes for something more interesting than a straightforward confessional show.
