About Silky
Silky brings his stand-up show to Stand 2 at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. A comedian since he was a kid, Silky's winding road has taken him via Iceland, the Falklands, Australia to Aberdeen, China to New York, Glastonbury and Kosovo. The show is a journey about sharing rather than arriving, and Silky — who has appeared on BBC One, Channel 4 and Paramount — describes himself as the luckiest man alive, though he suspects it may be a clerical error. The show runs for 60 minutes and is suitable for audiences aged 14 and over. Strong language is featured throughout.
Why see this show?
A well-travelled comedian who frames his extraordinary life as an accident rather than a triumph — warm, self-deprecating and sharply observed. Silky's shows have a reputation for making audiences feel like they've made a new friend.
