The Cringiest show at the Fringe returns... with a sequel nobody asked for! Join Ian Fox, a comedian who's aged like a carton of milk left in the sun, and his guests dissecting the cringe-worthy, the mind-boggling and the downright bizarre. This hit show returns with a brand-new selection of clips, that should've stayed buried and with a ton of cultural debris from yesteryear for the comics to wade through. Belt yourself in for sharp wit, awkward laughter and a ton of nostalgia or nausea digging up the cultural graveyard. 'C*nty f*cks' (Kate Copstick).
