Edinburgh-based boutique Comedy Management and Production company MZA is celebrating 35 years of participation at the world's biggest arts festival with new shows from Jimeoin, Craig Hill, Connor Burns and Kai Humphries.
Returning to the beautiful all-year Just the Tonic NUCLEUS venue hub, located (literally) right at the heart of the Fringe at 140 The Pleasance EH8 9RR:
* A true Fringe legend, Irish comedian Jimeoin, is celebrating a remarkable 28 years of bringing his laugh-out-loud comedy to Edinburgh in August with WHO'S YOUR MAN?!. The star of ‘The Royal Variety Performance’, ‘Live at the Apollo’, ‘Sunday Night at the Palladium’, and NBC's ‘Conan O’Brien’ has clocked up hundreds of millions of views of his comedy clips... but still nothing beats seeing this observational maestro live-in-action.
(1 - 25 August, 8.25pm Just the Tonic Nucleus, ATOMIC, BSL interpreted 21 & 23 August)

* Edinburgh's effervescent kilty pleasure, Craig Hill, celebrates his 25th show at the Fringe with his new show "I’ve Been Sitting On This For A While!" - and he most certainly has! An adrenaline rush of a show with Everything you ever thought, but never said out loud! Brimming with double entendres, dance routines and songs to make you wish you’d taken out shares in Tena Lady! Two time Nominee for the Billy Connolly Spirit Of Glasgow Award 2023 & 2024, Craig both hosted the Britcom shows and recorded a set for the Just For Laughs Comedy Festival, and hosted a star-studded, variety show ‘Forbidden Vaudeville’ especially produced for Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber’s prestigious Sydmonton Festival.
(1 - 25 August, 7pm Just the Tonic Nucleus, ATOMIC, BSL interpreted 22 & 24 August)
* Another Scot and fast-rising comedy name - Edinburgh born and bred Connor Burns - brings his eagerly awaiting third new hour "1994", after rave reviews of his 2023 festival show saw him sell out his entire season plus an additional 2,000 seats that were added due to audience demand. He's currently on a 40 date UK, made his solo off-Broadway debut, opened for Daniel Sloss launching the prestigious New York Comedy Festival, taped a set for the Just For Laughs Comedy Festival and filmed his debut comedy special, “Vertigo” for release.
(1 - 25 August, 9.45pm Just the Tonic Nucleus, ATOMIC, BSL interpreted 22 & 24 August)

* Geordie stand-up Kai Humphries finally makes a welcome return to the fringe with his wondrous and wonderful 10th new comedy hour "GALLIVANTING!" Kai's infectious enthusiasm and high-octane delivery of genuinely hilarious, surreal and delightfully optimistic material has firmly established him as one of the UK’s most in demand and popular stand-ups. He has also performed live in 55 countries to date (opening for Daniel Sloss), released his first book, co-hosts the popular Sloss and Humphries on the Road podcast, and regulrly tours internationally as a solo artist.
(1 - 25 August, 7.15pm Just the Tonic Nucleus, SUB-ATOMIC)
