Spring Day: Exvangelical
Join Spring for an Edinburgh Preview of her forthcoming new show “Exvangelical” as she provides dark comedy for nice people.
New York comedian Spring won Brooklyn’s Best Comedian and has performed a new show at the Edinburgh Festival every year since 2010 and appeared on BBC 1 Live at the Apollo. Spring’s strand of comedy is razor sharp, acerbic but most importantly funny as f**k!
Spring joined a Christian cult at 13 years old and left 13 years later. She’s never talked about it before because she didn’t think you heathens would understand. Watch her recount why she joined, and how she escaped a growing fundamentalist Christian community that had become her whole world. Expect one hell of a coming-of-age story about finding faith as Spring explores the nature of cults and the role they play in our everyday lives.
“Free flowing, sharp and snappy stand-up with wickedly funny killer punchlines…a definite must-see act” Fringe Times
9pm (1hr)
Simon Munnery
Simon shares a preview of his new stand-up hour. If you insist on TV and award credits before deciding whether or not to go and watch a comedian live then here you go… As seen on BBC2’s Stewart Lee’s Comedy Vehicle, The Culture Show, Comedy Central’s The Alternative Comedy Experience and Radio 4’s News Quiz, plus a British Comedy Award nominee, Chortle Award winner, Perrier Award nominee and Sony Radio Award winner. His strand of comedy is truly unique, very left-field, surreal, sharp and funny and the antidote to the plethora of bland MOR diatribe stand-up saturating comedy stages out there at the moment and very much an ambassador of the original alternative comedy circuit that reinvented stand-up back in the late 80’s.
“There’s something utterly refreshing about Munnery’s shows. You come out feeling like you’ve had a bath, an afternoon nap or a walk in the woods” Scotsman
“One of the all-time great British stand-ups” Stewart Lee
