CoolFun Comedy

Ed Gamble/Nish Kumar/Tom Neenan/Jez Scharf/PBH's Free Fringe

There's plenty of free comedy on offer in Edinburgh during the Festival, and it's worth taking the time to see 'CoolFun Comedy', featuring a young and energetic quartet of stand up comedians with more wit and skill than many of the more experienced comedians on the Free Fringe. Particular highlights include compère Ed Gamble, who improvises with a great spontaneous wit and banters confidently with the audience to get things warmed up, and Nish Kumar, whose skilful delivery and intelligently constructed set rounded the gig off nicely. It's not exceptional comedy by any means, and all of the youthful performers are still finding their feet as comedians, but it is a fun stand up show that's free to see.
