Mark Watson brings the Edinburgh Fringe to you!

Why break the bank and go to the Fringe when you can have Mark Watson bring it to you? The gangly Taskmaster star himself has hand picked his favourite performers to premier their shows at the Edinburgh Fringe, but before that he is sending them to you!           

 

James Trickey: Don't Count On Me

 

James Trickey is throwing it all away. A hotly anticipated debut hour from award-winning new act and chartered accountant (but in a cool way) which explores what it means to risk everything. Expect to laugh, learn and crucially, laugh again.

Lachlan Werner: TWUNK

 

The Twunk: head of a twink, body of a hunk.

 

Behind this curtain lies a modern model of manhood.

 

Lachlan Werner ("Hilarious. Extraordinary ventriloquist" Guardian) invites you to roll up and step this way for a new show so strong, it's dangerous.

 

Jack Hammer is the strongest boy in the world. He can lift a ten-tonne truck and crush the strongest steel. Just don't get too close. His management says you can look, but you can't touch.

 

Following his sell-out cult-hit horror debut, Voices Of Evil, Lachlan Werner welcomes you into a circus ring of stunts, sea-lions, sci-fi, secrets and minimal lip movement…

 

"Funniest new ventriloquist on the block." (Telegraph)
