About Basil Bottler
Basil Bottler returns to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2026 for a one-off underground hour of jokes, songs, filthy poems and general dicking about, performed at Maggie's Chamber. The character is an intergalactic man of mystery and self-employed astronaut who arrives via a home-made manure-powered spaceship. It's billed as a secret event — attendees are encouraged not to tell anyone. The show runs for 60 minutes, tickets are £2.50, and is suitable for ages 18 and over. Strong language throughout.
Why see this show?
At £2.50 for 60 minutes of character comedy, filthy poems and spaceship-related nonsense, the price alone makes this worth investigating. A deliberately lo-fi, chaotic comedy show that doesn't take itself remotely seriously.
