Shortlisted for the ISH Edinburgh Comedy Best Show Award in 2025. The best-joke-list-bothering, holey-cheese-flinging Falafel is back with another thickly-sliced slab of stupid. Including but not limited to: mind reading mic stands, sausage-based nonsense and art-related buffoonery. It won’t be sensible.

'One of the most creative shows I've seen at the Fringe' **** (EdFringeReview.com).
