About Alex Franklin

Alex Franklin brings her solo LGBTQ+ stand-up show to the Jelly Belly venue during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. A comedian known for appearances on Channel 4, HBO Max and BBC Radio 4, she presents a playful, intimate show built around connection and possibility. The listing description is almost entirely composed of kisses and punctuation — a deliberate choice from a performer described as a one-woman multiverse of gleeful possibility. Running 60 minutes and for adults aged 18 and over, the show contains a note about mentions of transphobia.

Why see this show?

A deliberately enigmatic show from a comedian who lets the work speak for itself. Alex Franklin's track record across Channel 4, HBO Max and BBC Radio 4 is reason enough to show up at the Jelly Belly and discover what Kiss Me x actually is.
