As part of our Edinburgh Previews series in 2017 we ran a very honest interview with Katy Brand (see her answer to question nine). Just to underline that not all comedians are the same here is a very different interview with US stand-up Sean Patton which he did to promote his 2017 Fringe run. Or maybe he actually does earn as much as he says below. In which case he can buy me a drink in Edinburgh in August. Patton comes from New Orleans and the New York Times said of him: ‘I've seen him perform more than a dozen sets, and he's killed every time. He's dynamite, even with ordinary material, turning standard Brooklyn-hipster jokes into a stomping, roaring tour de force, and elevating a bit about sex-performance anxiety into high-stakes comedy.’ Definitely sounds worth a look and he's back at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2019

Sean Patton: Contradickhead is at the Gilded Balloon from July 31 - August 25, 2019. Tickets here.
