About Avalon
Rory Cargill: On TV! is a character comedy show from Avalon, performed at The Crate as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Rory Cargill plays TV legend Beau Creme, who hosts a retrospective on British TV spanning seventy years — its programmes, its stars, and how the medium shaped British society. The show is described as silly, high-energy, and nostalgic, running for 60 minutes. Tickets start at £9 and the show is suitable for audiences aged 14 and over.
Why see this show?
A sketch-comedy performer inhabiting a fictional TV presenter looking back at British television — nostalgic without being sentimental, and genuinely funny without relying on a single cheap joke. The premise rewards the conceit rather than just coasting on it.
