The Underbelly has announced its first batch of Edinburgh Fringe shows.
John Bishop and Jason Manford top the comedy bill, both doing runs before they set off on major UK tours. There are over 90 shows going on sale on April 20.
Other highlights include Australian Nick Cody returning to the Fringe with his new solo show, and Britain's Got Talent star Jess Robinson and her band performing in the upside-down purple cow. Austentatious also returns, and cast members Graham Dickson and Daniel Nils Roberts bring their innovative solo shows. Saturday Night Live’s Julio Torres makes his Edinburgh debut, and acclaimed Indian stand-up Aditi Mittal also appears in Edinburgh for the first time with her show Global Village Idiot. Acclaimed, anarchic double act Zach & Viggo follow the success of last year’s Thunderflop with a new show, as well as each making their solo debut.
The rest of the programme will go on sale on 11 May.
