Giovana Fagundes: Orgulho do Papai
Giovana não tem papas na língua pra falar sobre absolutamente nada e neste solo conta com muita liberdade um pouco da sua personalidade e experiências (algumas u m tanto quanto trágicas!). Desbocada e sincera até demais, a artista não faz exatamente o estilo “moça pra casar, o que incomoda não só a sociedade, mas também sua família. "Orgulho do Papai" é uma grande ironia sobre a falta de aceitação familiar em relação às suas escolhas profissionais, pessoais e sua liberdade. Com tantas divergências sobre a filha que Giovana é e a que seus pais gostariam que fosse, a atriz não podia deixar barato: pegou seu deboche e acidez pra fazer de tudo isso uma grande piada!

A comediante brasileira Fernanda Arantes está na estrada com seu novo show "De Imigrante para Imigrante", uma turnê pela Europa feita especialmente para quem já enfrentou perrengues fora do Brasil — do choque cultural às gafes no mercado, passando por saudades da comida e histórias que só quem vive longe de casa entende.

Mattia Sedda: CHOIN
“CHOIN, CHOIN!” call the farmers. “CHOIN, CHOIN!” answer the pigs. In Sardinia, it’s how pigs are summoned—direct, no pretence. That raw honesty inspired CHOIN, a bold, ridiculous, and deeply human solo clown show. Mattia Sedda arrives in London with an empty suitcase, broken English, and a dream: to become a professional actor. But the industry isn’t sure what to make of him. From working restaurant shifts to reciting Hamlet in auditions, CHOIN follows his desperate attempt to fit in, be cast, and belong. As Mattia performs his “ultimate showcase”—complete with Shakespeare, magic, object play, and physical comedy—what begins as an audition spirals into something far more personal. CHOIN is the hilarious, painful journey of an outsider who tries everything to be someone else, only to discover freedom in embracing who he already is. Blending clowning, absurdity, and nostalgia, CHOIN explores migration, identity, rejection, and joy—with a pig call at its heart. Named by Chortle as one of “10 Clowns to See at the 2024 Edinburgh Fringe,” CHOIN is as honest and unpredictable as the call that inspired it.
Jessica Aszkenasy: Titclown (workinprogworkinprog)
Titclown (workinprogress) is comedian/clown/tittywoman Jessica Aszkenasy’s debut hour. It’s a mad display of what it’s like to be a woman *making art* under the patriarchy. Or at least that’s what she hopes it will be by the time she takes the show to Edinburgh. Also, it’s not stand up comedy. Here are some credentials to make you think it might be good: Having trained at somewhat renowned clown cult/school Ecole Philippe Gaulier where she butted heads with teachers left, right and centre because no-one understood her *art*, Jessica is ready to dazzle the world with her self importance. The show was *birthed* in California, at brilliant performance artist Claire Woolner’s theatre Public Displays of Altadena, and put up for its first ever performance at the Elysian Theatre in Los Angeles. Jessica has been performing regularly on the London comedy circuit since 2019, completed a sold-out run at London’s VAULT Festival and had two fairly middling years at the Edinburgh Fringe.
Steve Whiteley: A Mind Full (Work in Progress)
From dopamine to dharma. A solo show about ADHD, addiction, and the eternal struggle to sit still. A Mind Full is the story of one man’s healing journey—from chasing laughs, sex, and dopamine hits to moving into a Buddhist community and (badly) trying to meditate. Blending stand-up, storytelling, and theatrical moments, it explores what happens when a former wide boy with impulse issues goes full mindfulness. Along the way: spiritual bypassing, compulsive behaviours, and the ongoing tension between craving peace and needing the spotlight.

Mis(s)labelled
Putting Estonia on the map (because let’s face it-most people couldn’t point to it if their Ryanair flight depended on it). Join Estonian comedian Heli Pärna for a smart, sharp, and soulfully funny hour of stand-up where no label is safe. In MIS(S)LABELLED, Heli explores everything from awkward cultural stereotypes to heartbreak, feminism, and the question on everyone’s mind: "Why is everyone still confused about Eastern Europe?" Expect to leave with a laugh, a few epiphanies, and possibly a renewed appreciation for geography. The Adventures of the White Unicorn, Heli’s debut solo show, premiered at the Tallinn Fringe Festival in 2023. A year (and several continents) later, she’s heading to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe with a fresh take on what it means to be mis(s)understood, mis(s)represented, and most definitely mis(s)labelled. Whether you’re from Tallinn, Tokyo, or Tooting (!) this show is for anyone who’s ever felt like they don’t quite fit the mold. Heli doesn’t just perform; she connects. Her style is warm, fearless, and hilariously vulnerable. It’s not “a comedian talking at you”, it’s more like catching up with a brutally honest friend over drinks (but she’s got the mic, and it’s her round). About Heli Pärna Heli Pärna is an Estonian stand-up comedian based in Brussels, Belgium, where she writes, performs, directs, and co-hosts the bi-weekly Funny Women Brussels show. She’s a storyteller with a sharp tongue and a soft heart, blending clever cultural commentary with raw, relatable moments. Her no-holds-barred honesty and mischievous wit have taken her across international stages, performing everywhere from Brussels and Geneva to the Netherlands, England, and even New Zealand. She headlined Side Splitters Comedy, opened for touring acts like Derek Mitchell’s Double Dutch and Magdulicious’s Beast from the East, and debuted her first solo show, The Adventures of the White Unicorn, at the Tallinn Fringe Festival in 2023. Whether she’s unpacking stereotypes, dissecting heartbreak, or recounting wildly inappropriate pickup lines, Heli’s comedy is fearless, heartfelt, and full of surprises. You might come for the laughs—but you’ll stay for the truth bombs and that “wait... did she just say that?” energy. ***** 5 stars! "If you’re looking for a comedy show that is both sharp and side-splittingly funny, do not miss this brilliant Estonian comedian. She’s a true gem in the world of stand-up!” Phoenix Review Theatre Review (New Zealand)

Ben O’Sullivan: Bermuda Rhombus
Ben O'sullivan is an offbeat comedian whose style is as silly as it is deadpan. Think of him as a deflating bouncy castle (colourful, whimsical, and only slightly full of hot air). When Ben turned 30 last year, he decided to celebrate by doing the coolest thing he could imagine: getting his ear pierced. But then he started asking himself the big question everyone asks when they reach their 30s: Am I a narcissist? Or is it just the piercing? Bermuda Rhombus is an exploration of this internal need for attention. Ben’s musings on the subject cover a lot of ground: from trying to find out why mirrors were invented to questioning if the Great Fire of London was, in fact, bad. Ultimately, Ben will answer the most important question of our time: Is everything about him? Through Ben's surreal and silly comedic lens, you'll see your own impulses for attention and validation reflected back at you - and you'll laugh at just how absurd it all is. "A very dry, laid back style of delivery... He reminds me of James Acaster in his early days" - Everything Theatre.

Blinded by Love: Dating Show
Blinded by Love is London’s newest, no-filter dating show where two brave singles—completely blindfolded—go on a date in front of a live audience. It’s part romance, part psychological experiment, and 100% a terrible idea for anyone with commitment issues. Guiding this romantic chaos? Two Gen-Z uncles who work in the City by day and play Cupid by night (because insider trading in the dating world is way more fun). They’ll roast, interrogate, and maybe even help our contestants find "the one". The best part? You could be next. If watching this social experiment unfold isn’t thrilling enough, the audience will have the chance to jump in and date one of our contestants. Because, let’s be honest, your love life could use a plot twist. Come for the cringe, stay for the chemistry. Or the car crash energy. Either way, it’s a show you won’t forget—no matter how hard you try. Please note that this event will be filmed.

The world is not what it was. What we need is a wizard to sort out the mess we’ve made. A legendary wizard who is not afraid of the big issues. Wizard Guide to Saving the World contains actual magic, love philtres, charms enough to stop wars or climate change, and plenty of stuff about wizards. At heart this new character stand-up is concerned with shifting social attitudes and cultural standards, viewed and skewed through ancient wizard eyes. The forces of evil attack, Merlin slips in and out, and there’s the promise a spellbound singalong. We know of wizards from our history books, myths & fantasies, Dungeons & Dragons, Warhammer & Monty Python. Wizard Guide… name drops Gandalf, Dr Strange, Dumbledore, Rincewind and more – wizards are everywhere in our culture. But this isn’t a show for nerds of the arcane (although they won’t feel out of place), it is aimed at an audience who enjoy a blend of left leaning political sensibility and farfetched silliness. Wizard Guide to Saving the World does what it says on the enchanted vessel. Written and performed by Terry Victor, still recovering from a lengthy rehab in Santa’s “Grotto”* * "Harsh, funny and simply staged, Grotto feels like the sort of show the Edinburgh Fringe was invented for…" ★★★★ - Starburst Magazine
Samantha Day: The Great British Menu (Of Petty Complaints)
Samantha Day is back - with a new comedy game show that treats Britain's most trivial problems with the seriousness that they deserve. It's always Whine O'Clock in Britain. The weather is too hot. Or too cold or too rainy. Sometimes it gets so bad that we have to go on holiday to complain about another country. And the people in Britain are awful. Driving too slowly, making grammatical errors and joking about the wrong things. Britain has never been so divided. And this show could definitely make it worse. “Just brilliant“ – Arthur Smith "Her confidence, delivery, material and interaction with our audience was absolutely superb!!” - Genius Events Leicester Comedy Festival Silver Stand Up Award - Winner (2025) British Comedy Guide Pro Award - Finalist (2024) Not So New Comedian of the Year - Finalist (2024) British Comedian of the Year - Semi Finalist (2024) Amused Moose Award, Edinburgh Fringe - Shortlisted (2023) Comedy Store King Gong - Winner (2022) New Comedian of the Year, Southport Comedy Festival - Winner (2022) New Comedian of the Year, Leicester Square Theatre - Finalist (2022)

Com nove anos de experiência, Pedrosa faz parte de uma nova onda de renovação do stand-up, junto com outros artistas que estão trilhando esse caminho, não apenas no humor LGBTQIAPN+, e que usam a comédia como ferramenta social para fomentar debates e provocar reflexões de forma mais leve. Pedrosa aposta em um humor interativo e acolhedor, que incentiva o público a compartilhar histórias e experiências. “O conteúdo que já existia para a comunidade estava muito voltado para o letramento, mas faltava uma válvula de escape, um espaço para relaxar e compartilhar histórias, quase como uma roda de amigos. Além disso, busco levar momentos de descontração à comunidade, utilizando o humor como ferramenta de reflexão social e quebra de barreiras e preconceitos”, explica o humorista.

Reflecting on society's perception of queer, disabled, and neurodiverse communities, as well as his own perception of himself, Mitchell creates a heartwarming, emotional but always hilarious show.
