Matt MacDonald and George Leeson are the Giggle Merchants — two rising stars of the Scottish comedy scene bringing an hour of wall-to-wall laughs to the Edinburgh Fringe. Expect non-stop laughs, tough questions, hard truths, at least one VAR check and a soundboard that won't cooperate. The show bridges the gap between well-crafted stand-up and internet-poisoned degeneracy, and takes place at Stand 2. The show is recommended for audiences aged 18 and over.
Why see this show?
Two comedians clearly having fun at their own expense and yours — a double act that balances proper stand-up with chaotic internet humour. Good value for an evening of laughs at Stand 2.
