About Alison Zrada
The Oracle is a 55-minute stand-up show at Just The Snifter Room during the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2026, performed by Alison Zrada. Described as 50% stand-up and 50% character comedy, the show follows an overly enthusiastic tour guide through the world of prophets and seers in mythology, fearing the future, turning 30, googling the plots of horror films, and justifying a Classics degree. The show is for former mythology nerds, queer people and anyone who has considered seeing a psychic. Contains strong language. Suitable for ages 16 and above.
Why see this show?
Mythology, Classics degrees and the dread of turning 30 make for an unexpectedly rich comedy combination. Alison Zrada blends stand-up and character work into a show that is both nerdy and deeply relatable — particularly if you have ever googled the plot of a horror film rather than actually watching it.
