Bin Fire is a stand-up comedy compilation show by Jacob Hatton and Richard Stott, performed at Nic 2, The Main Hall, Nicolson Square Venues, as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The show invites the best comedians at the Fringe to dig out their worst, most ill-judged jokes — material that has never worked, ideas that really do make you wonder what on earth they were thinking. An anarchic late night show where everything is designed to go wrong. The 60-minute show is rated 18+ and includes audience participation and strong language.
Why see this show?
A late night comedy show built entirely around failure — the Fringe's finest comedians bring the jokes they buried, and the result is gloriously anarchic. If you like your comedy unpredictable, this is the one.
