Happily Never After
The other place you might see Lloydie (Rhymes Against Humanity, Millions of Voices, everything), catch him in the act on 12 and 13 August. And teched by that Liam Webber guy…
Award-winning improvisers The Maydays present this skin-prickling tale full of black comedy and haunting music, inspired by the warped imaginations of Tim Burton, Lemony Snicket and the Brothers Grimm. Starting with your suggestion, The Maydays take you on a bone-chilling journey, meeting the grotesque and the innocent, weaving a fantastical story that’s different every time. Happily Never After returns to edfringe for a second year after sell-out shows across Europe.

The Fall of Byron Montrose; Poet, Gentleman, Lover
A wonderful opportunity to see Ben Macpherson (The Vox Pops, Millions of Voices) at his lyrical best.
Don Juan meets Milton Jones in the pun filled Adventure; the sellout hit of the Nottingham Comedy Festival and the Student Fringe Festival. The fall of Byron Montrose tells the tale of a lost romantic poer as he deals with love, opium and Napoleon. A Daring story of exile, lust and laudanum. From one of Nottingham’s most promising comedians, The Fall of Byron Montrose; Poet, Gentleman, Lover is silly, witty and just a little bit naughty.
