See some of the biggest and best names in comedy for our season of Edinburgh Fringe Previews and Tour Warm-Ups with Crack Comedy!

‘…like watching two Netflixs specials but live and with new jokes!’

Ria Lina is a touring Filipina comedian, actress and writer known for her appearances on BBC’s Live At The Apollo, Have I Got News For You, The Now Show and Mock The Week - and in November was named as one of The Evening Standard’s ‘Hottest Comedians You Should Be Watching Now’.  Throughout her stand-up career Ria has taken five shows to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival with her work tackling topics such as autism, topical news and racial identity. Her career stretches from stage and screen, to radio and the occasional ukulele - all in a unique style described by ‘The Scotsman’ as ‘fearless , provocative and very funny’.
Matt Forde is one of the country’s most in-demand satirists, having appeared on The Royal Variety Performance 2015 (ITV), Have I Got News For You (BBC One), Mock the Week (BBC2 Two), Rory Bremner’s Coalition Report and Election Report (both BBC Two), 8 out of 10 Cats (Channel 4), Question Time (BBC One), This Week (BBC One) and Jon Richardson Grows Up (C4).

Following a total sell-out run at the Edinburgh Festival’s prestigious Cabaret Bar and a recently announced nationwide tour of Matt’s latest show, It’s My Political Party (and I’ll Cry if I Want To), September 2016 sees the launch of Unspun with Matt Forde, Matt’s new political comedy show for DAVE, combining topical stand-up, filmed segments with the best political comedians from around the world, and interviews with leading names from British politics.
