RBM Comedy is proud to present Edfringe: Comedy In The Meantime, beaming a mini-festival of live-streamed comedy that would have been at this year’s Edinburgh Festival straight into your lounge/bedroom/garden/garage.

In the wake of the Edinburgh Fringe being cancelled this summer run of shows on Saturdays during August (8th, 15th and 22nd Aug) will 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.

RBM has produced and promoted shows for the Edinburgh Fringe since the late 80s, 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!”
