A ‘flashmob’ of secret policemen in trademark macs and moustaches descended on the Edinburgh Festival Fringe today to launch Amnesty’s run of 15 lunchtime live shows and promoted a competition which runs throughout August – festival goers are invited to whisper a secret in a Secret Policeman’s ear when they see them on the street, for the chance to win a pair of tickets to the next Amnesty live show.
With Ed Byrne (top middle) are fellow participating comics (front row from left): Ben Van der Velde, (then a secret policeman), Gary Delaney and Jenny Eclair.
The 15 live shows throughout August will be recorded at 13.20 in the Underbelly Cow Barn on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Hosts include Ed Byrne, Julian Clary (in Edinburgh exclusively for Amnesty), Alan Davies, Jo Caulfield and John Moloney.
