John Tothill's Edinburgh Comedy Award-nominated show returns for its final ever performances. In 2024, John nearly died. In 2025, he went on an underwhelming cruise. Both events were equally life-changing. Now he invites audiences to join him in his own personal paradise as he continues to monetise what life he has left. The show has appeared in the Guardian's Top Comedy Shows 2025 and Best-Reviewed Fringe Shows 2025, performed at the Cabaret Bar.
Why see this show?
The final run of a show that has earned some of the best reviews at recent Fringes. A comedy about near-death and disappointing holidays that is reportedly worth the trip — and you won't get another chance to see it.
