Line Up :

Esther Manito : Slagbomb ( Tour Preview / Work in Progress )
As seen on BBC'S Live at The Apollo, The Stand Up Sketch Show for ITV2. Winner Best Show at Leicester Comedy Festival 2021. As heard on BBC Radio 4, 'Gritty reality... Esther tells it like it is' (FunnyWomen.com). The first Female Comedian to perform at Dubai Opera House!
After a sold-out, rave-reviewed tour last year, Esther is back—this time embracing the sheer joy of having absolutely no dignity.
She’s tried elegance. She’s aimed for sophistication. But somehow, the chaos always wins. Because really—how do you keep your poise when you’re juggling kids, aging parents, and the crushing weight of unmet expectations?
Following the success of her last show, Hell Hath No Fury, Esther is done pretending. Labeled an “angry woman”? Fine. She’ll own it. Now, she’s leaning in even further—into the mess, the mayhem, and the gloriously undignified truth of it all.
From failed attempts at being sexy, sudden hearing loss, and awkward encounters with dodgy drug dealers, to the brutal realities of a waxing session gone sideways—nothing’s off limits.
Because when there’s war in the world and family back in Lebanon, there are bigger things to worry about than being a “slagbomb.”

THE BRITPOP HOUR with MARC BURROWS (Edfringe Preview / Work in Progress )
Join award-winning writer-comedian Marc Burrows for a multi-media stand up celebration of one of British music's most iconic and enduring moments, marking 30 years since the Blur vs Oasis chart war. Music journalist Marc (Guardian, The Quietus, Big Issue) dives into the stories, rivalries, OTT personalities and some of the finest music the UK has ever produced. Part nostalgic love letter, part send-up, part rock'n'roll party. DoyaknowwhatImean? ‘A joyful tribute … magical!’ - Sunday Times 'Funny, clever and profound... unmissable' * Starburst. 'Utter joyful enthusiasm’ Broadway Baby. * Three Weeks. * Edinburgh Reviews.
