Comic Fringes, Series 1

Three short stories written and performed by leading new comedians at The Pleasance Theatre in Edinburgh as part of the Festival Fringe. In May Contain Nuts, by Janey Godley, a woman glimpses her own mortality when she calculates that only twenty-seven years separate her from her cantankerous father. The Hair of the Dead, by Sarah Millican, is a moving (and very funny) short story about a compassionate undertaker's assistant. Finally, Gone Fishing is a tale of love and betrayal set in a remote village in the Yorkshire Dales, written and read by Jon Richardson.
