About Ollie West
Ollie West brings Discovery (WIP) to Nic 9 (Nicolson Square Gardens) at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2026. A work in progress in the alternative comedy tradition, the show's description is deliberately cryptic. West is a Soho Rising 2026 performer and Leicester Square Theatre Sketch Off finalist 2025. The show runs 60 minutes, is suitable for audiences aged 16 and over, and tickets are £10. Audience participation is involved.
Why see this show?
A deliberately mysterious work in progress from a performer described as 'animalistic and quite frightening' — the unpredictable nature of a WIP at an outdoor venue makes it a genuinely curious option at the Fringe.
