7:30pm Alice Fraser: Twist (Work in Progress)
The moment you think you’ve got a handle on things, life throws you a twist. This is a show about the unexpected and the twists... or is it?
Award-winning Alice Fraser’s gut-punch comedy has earned her comedy specials, TV, and radio appearances (Amazon Prime, BBC, ABC TV). Her comedy spans the satirical, social, philosophical and personal, adeptly infused with her trademark silliness and clever charm.
The co-host of Andy Zaltzman’s cult The Bugle podcast is back in Edinburgh, where she was named one of The Telegraph's Best Shows Of 2022.
★★★★★ "Breathtakingly funny" - Edinburgh Guide
8:45pm Ria Lina: Riaawkaening (Preview)
In the aftermath of a global pandemic, comedian and scientist, Ria Lina has had a Riawakening and sees the world differently. In this, her highly anticipated debut tour, Ria tackles the issues of coming out of a global pandemic, the new normal, divorce,
dating in a new digital world, motherhood and what it really means to be a woman today.

Her extensive list of credits includes Live At The Apollo, Have I Got News For You, Mock the Week, Lovestruck High, Richard Hammond’s Brain Reaction, House of Games, The Last
