Live-streamed comedy that would have been at this year’s Edinburgh Festival straight to your lounge/bedroom/garden/garage
RBM Comedy present Edfringe: Comedy In The Meantime and we really like the twist that allows you to pay a little bit more for a front row seat.
In the wake of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe being cancelled this August RBM Comedy are producing a run of shows on Saturdays during August to commemorate what would have been the 73rd year of the Festival.
Each date will showcase a collection of comedians, from across the world, coming together and sharing highlights of their shows that they would have taken to the fringe this year. There might also be some raunchy Edinburgh anecdotes exposed too!
Shows will be live streamed at 8pm, tickets available through DICE, priced at £5.50 for general admission and £7.50 for Front Row seats where audience members are able to interact with the comics.
Confirmed line-ups include:
Saturday 8 August 2020
Aaron Twitchen
Katie Pritchard
Adele Cliff
Eli Matthewson (NZ)
Saturday 15 August 2020
Jack Gleadow

RBM has produced and promoted shows for the Edinburgh Fringe since the late 80’s, and has a keen eye for new talent, working with the likes of Sean Hughes, Mel & Sue, John Shuttleworth and Miles Jupp, promoting them on subsequent UK tours and who have all gone on to glittering careers.
Samuel Nunn, agent and producer for RBM Comedy says, “It was a mixed bag of emotions when the decision was made to pull the fringe this year. The whole industry was deflated, thinking of all the work we’d put in already. However, I know the current situation is still far from ideal but there is light at the end of the tunnel, and I am so excited to be bringing a slice of the Edinburgh Fringe to audiences across the UK and overseas this summer. It’s at least something in the meantime!”
In the spirit of the fringe the show must go on(-line)!
