It’s hard to stay away from Edinburgh whether you are new to the comedy game or an old hand. This year there are a number of brilliant comedians coming back who have won the Edinburgh Comedy Award, best known as the Perrier but now sponsored by digital channel Dave. You can only win the top award once and there are certainly easier ways to make money, so why come back? It must be for the sheer fun and the incredible buzz of the Fringe.
Ever wanted to be an icon and have everyone look up to you? Ever wanted to be the face of disability? Georgie Morrell didn't but she is now and she doesn’t remember agreeing to this. Or did she? Join Georgie, who was diagnosed with a visual impairment at the age of three, as she explores disability and why being sick on a puppy will come back to haunt you.
There's a school of thought that the Edinburgh Fringe is a Young Person's Game. But actually in recent years it has become an older person's game too. Maybe they are the baby boomer generation who can afford to lose a few grand every August or maybe they just love the thrill of the Fringe and the art of stand-up. Whatever the reasons here are some comedians who know the game inside out and are the collective epitome of a safe pair of comedy hands. And no, they are not listed in descending order of chronology.
A new sponsor has been announced for the most important prize in live comedy, the Edinburgh Comedy Awards. The new sponsor is digital TV channel Dave.

Are comedy critics the enemy of the people? Or to be more precise are comedy critics the enemy of the people performing at the Edinburgh Fringe?
