Been to @comedyballoon since the 1st time since the 90s. I actually designed (and posted) the flyposters for the 90s, Dave Turquoise led, Britons Protection initial incarnation.... A great night out...and a world away from the insanity I remember from back in the day...

Also, a big thank you to Jason Cooke for letting us descend on his @comedyballoon night! But most importantly: thank you so much to everyone who came down to show their support - you packed out the room without a seat to spare, and that really does mean the world to all of us🙌🏻

We had so much fun last night at Ape and Apple @comedyballoon where a handful of our troupe showcased their material for the final time before Edinburgh! 🤩 If you are in Edinburgh you are not going to want to miss the talent we’re serving up! 👇👇👇

Anyone going to the #edfringe #EdFringe2022 should make time to watch @MarkGComedyUK I saw his preview last night and it was brilliant. And his show is free apparently (although you will need to put money in the bucket - nothing is really free)

Go and see @Thephilellis tonight. He’s trying out new stuff, which means health and safety regulations will be broken and a bloke will want to punch him.

Previewing the new show at @comedyballoon Manchester tonight. I'm adding props/sound/theatre/music for the first time so it's bound to be at the very least an interesting mess. Come! 8pm, Free!
