Edinburgh previews: Bridget Christie and John Kearns

Laugh Out London is proud to present Edinburgh previews from the two award winning stars of the 2013 Edinburgh Fringe. Winner of Best Show Bridget Christie and Best Newcomer John Kearns together showcasing their brand new shows.

Bridget Christie

An Ungrateful Woman

WINNER of Best Show at the Fosters Edinburgh Comedy Awards 2013.
Why did people praise Michael Gove on 25 February 2014? What made Bridget lose control of her emotions at a casting for a yoghurt commercial? And which national newspaper genuinely mistook Bridget (from R4’s Bridget Christie Minds the Gap, Dilemma, Heresy, News Quiz, The Unbelievable Truth, BBC’s HIGNFY, It’s Kevin and C4’s Cardinal Burns) for King Charles II? ‘One of the finest comedians around’ (Independent). ‘A superb stand-up with a powerful voice and something to say…a revelation’ ***** (Observer). ‘A beautiful balance between the personal, the public and the parodic’ **** (Times).

John Kearns

Shtick

Yet another show from the winner of last year’s Foster’s Best Newcomer Award. Barry Award nominee 2014. Triple nominee at the Chortle Awards 2014. What was said about last year’s show…‘Now this is how you do absurd comedy…a bold, hilarious debut…he has forged comedy gold’ (Steve Bennett, Chortle.co.uk). ‘A true comedy original’ (Time Out). ‘Perhaps his finest achievement is that in the course of the whole show, there’s nothing you can actually identify as a joke’ (Guardian). ‘Extremely funny’ (Scotsman). ‘Spike Milligan, Vic and Bob, John Kearns. Say hello to comedy’s latest lunatic’ (Bruce Dessau, BeyondTheJoke.co.uk).
