Edinburgh Fringe Comedy Previews 2026: Catch two excellent stand-up comedians performing brand new material each night – presented by Chuckle Busters


An eight-week mini-season of fantastic comedy as stand-up stars premier their latest shows before they head to the largest arts festival in the world, Edinburgh Fringe! Be the first to catch these shows before they go on to comedy glory! Each night will feature two full length performances from some of the best comedians in the country.

Joseph Morpurgo
Bits, bobs, odds, sods, fragments, cogs, shards and precious gossamer moments from the Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee and cult character comedian. Seen/heard in Austentatious, Harry & Paul, Drunk History, Radio 4’s Joseph Morpurgo’s Walking Tour, and sundry alt. audiotelevisual scenarios.

“That rare thing, a high-concept, unashamedly arty production that also has entire rooms laughing.”
★★★★★ Evening Standard

“A rich, multilayered comedy experience.”
★★★★★ Time Out

“So full of invention you could watch it twice and not stop laughing.”
★★★★ Guardian

“A brilliantly ambitious and immersive piece of comic storytelling.”
★★★★ Times

Andrew Frost
Andrew is trying out some new stuff. If he is honest with you… it will be fun, and there will probably be card magic involved. If he is dishonest with you, this is the Edinburgh Award – and Olivier – nominated show everyone is talking about.

“A brilliant magician.”
Derren Brown

“A phenomenon.”
David Blaine

“One of the most phenomenal card magicians in the world.”
Nick Mohammed
