About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

The show has been called off. The show must go on....

Penguin is proud to bring you its very own audio comedy festival, featuring acts who would have performed at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2020, developed in association with the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society.

Containing nearly eight hours of hilarious original material from some of the finest comedians on the circuit, listeners can laugh along as Jordan Brookes (Winner of Edinburgh Comedy Awards 2019) takes you on a disastrous guided meditation session, Sofie Hagen (Comedy Central, Live from the BBC) lifts the lid on her Westlife fan-fiction days and, just as Shakespeare did during the plague, Ivo Graham (Have I Got News for You, Mock the Week) tucks into his version of King Lear during the lockdown.

Featuring household names, through to debut acts, as well as being compered by Scotland’s very own Fern Brady (8 Out of 10 Cats, The News Quiz), Edinburgh Unlocked is the unmissable comedy festival that you can attend without leaving your living room.

Full Cast: Ivo Graham, Sofie Hagen, Fern Brady, Dane Baptiste, Jessie & Bebe Cave, Jordan Brookes, Lou Sanders, John Kearns, Jen Brister, Christopher Bliss, Michelle de Swarte, Sheeps, Glamrou, Giants (Fjord), Crystal Rasmussen, Jen Brister, Chloe Petts, Anna & Helen, Kemah Bob, Leo Reich, Jake Farrell, Yuriko Kotani, SHELF, Mo Omar.

Trying Way Too Hard To Be “Right On”

Having been a huge Edinburgh stand-up fan I was expecting way more from this.

Some of these acts were just bloody terrible and incredibly unfunny.

Over all these hours I probably only really laughed less than a handful of times.

Highlight would be the woman talking about her two boys that she had with her female partner... I had to pull over in the car as I was laughing so much.

And the final sketch troupe were very good also.

Overall though, extremely mediocre, very safe comedy.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
