Stacey Edwards and Sam Adamson — West End New Act finalists, a surreal observationalist comedian and an irrepressible musical comedian — host a free show that is never the same twice. Each night they are joined by a different hand-selected mystery guest act, with the three performers delivering an hour of musical comedy, games and stand-up. Presented as part of PBH's Free Fringe at the Southsider, the show promises riotous fun, raucous frivolity and boisterous banter.
Why see this show?
With a different mystery guest every night and two reliably funny hosts, this is one of those free Fringe shows where you genuinely don't know what you'll get — and that's most of the fun. Come for the games and music; stay for the surprises.
