Major League Bombs
Aidan O'Reilly / PBH's Free Fringe • Amateur Company
About the show
Major League Bombs is an interactive free comedy show hosted by Aidan O'Reilly at the Downstairs Room during Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The concept is simple: comedians perform their sets, but if the jokes don't land, the audience gets to throw baseballs at them. Enough hits and the comedian is out. A different roster of Fringe comics takes the stage each night, meaning no two shows are the same. The show runs for 60 minutes, is free to attend, and is suitable for audiences aged 16 and over. Audience participation is an integral part of the format.
Why see this show?
The most literally interactive comedy show at the Fringe — you're not just judging, you're armed. A fresh, chaotic format that turns audience power into a genuine spectacle every single night.
