Edinburgh Fringe Return For David Baddiel – Trilogy To Be Filmed For TV

Edinburgh Fringe Return For David Baddiel

David Baddiel will return to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe for the first time in ten years with two shows, Talking Books - Jews Don't Count & The God Desire at Assembly George Square Studios, Studio One from 2nd – 10th August at 1.20pm, as well as a rare opportunity to see a revival of his latest smash-hit one man shows with The ‘Not the…’ Trilogy (WIP).

In Talking Books - Jews Don't Count & The God Desire, join David for an informal and unscripted Q&A between David and the audience, exploring the ideas in his bestselling books Jews Don’t Count & The God Desire.  Alongside readings from the books and followed by a book signing afterwards, David will answer all your questions about modern anti-semitism, God, atheism and also, if you insist, football.

The ‘Not the…’ Trilogy (WIP) will see David return to the all three of his critically acclaimed shows in a series of intimate work-in-progress performances ahead of plans to record them as comedy specials in the autumn.  In 2013 Fame: Not the Musical saw David successfully return to stand-up comedy after 15 years away, this was then followed up in 2016 by My Family: Not the Sitcom, which ran on London’s West End for 15 weeks and saw David nominated for an Olivier Award. The most recent show, Trolls: Not the Dolls, toured to widespread critical acclaim in 2020 and 2021.

Baddiel tweeted: "I'll be doing 3 WIP shows reviving the three one-man shows I've done over the last decade - Fame, My Family, and Trolls - because I'm recording them for TV in the Autumn and therefore need to bloody recommit them to memory."
