About Alex Camp
Alex Camp: Dopamine Rat is a musical dark comedy show at Nic 3 (Nicolson Square Venues) on the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Alex Camp returns for his second Fringe show with a searingly honest yet bonkers look at addictions both big and small — booze, sex and mental health — delivered through his trademark original comedy songs. A former Tokyo expat, failed musician, love-rat and addict, Camp argues that these addictions shaped his life and made him a better person. The show features Taylor Swift, hand dryers, sweets and code-switching, among much more. It runs for 60 minutes and costs £8.
Why see this show?
An unusually candid comedy set that uses original songs to power through the rat run of addiction, identity and community without ever losing its sense of mischief. The Leicester Comedy Festival award-nominated Camp makes the personal feel universal and the painful feel funny.
