About Hill and Jones Comedy
Hill and Jones Comedy Catastrophe is a sketch and character comedy show by Hill and Jones Comedy, performed at the Subway as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. When the duo land a last-minute slot at a major comedy show, everything goes wrong backstage. Ryan Hill — the self-styled serious comedian — is determined to prove they belong, while Ben Jones — the loveable idiot — is determined to be helpful. The result is a fast, chaotic mix of comedy, characters and sheer stupidity as egos clash, sketches misfire and the show threatens to collapse. The show runs for 60 minutes, is suitable for adults aged 18 and over, and contains strong language.
Why see this show?
A comedy show about a comedy show going wrong — fast-paced, chaotic and full of character. Hill and Jones turn backstage panic into a well-crafted piece of ensemble comedy that feels both scripted and gloriously out of control.
