Line Up :

Marjolein Robertson (Edfringe Preview / Work in Progress )
Having begun performing comedy in Amsterdam nearly a decade ago and subsequently emerging on the Scottish scene, Marjolein Robertson has blended nakedly personal stand-up with the folk storytelling rhythms and imagery of her Shetland roots, the two traditions blurred at the edges by her more surreal inclinations.  Her 2023 Edinburgh Fringe show, Marj, was a tour-de-force performance of varied and difficult subject matter, that saw her not only commanding The Stand’s main room but transforming it into a place of intimacy, magic and mischief, wrapping the audience around her finger. An award nomination and strong reviews followed. Being a BBC New Comedy Award and Funny Woman finalist in 2022, she’s already built a sizeable following online that’s bypassing the mainstream media - delivering her offbeat, otherworldly humour to a dedicated fanbase. Marjolein also made number 3 in The List Hot 100 2023. Shetlander Marjolein was a finalist in Channel 4’s Sean Lock Comedy Award  ‘Phenomenal’ ***** (List). ‘Spellbinding’ ***** (One4Review.co.uk). ‘A fine mix of surreal storytelling whimsy, winsome silliness and scatological filth’ ***** (ThreeWeeks). She’s definitely one to watch.

SIKISA (Edfringe Preview / Work in Progress )
Sikisa brings her new work in progress show with brand new jokes about living your best life. Life is still a party... right.
Expect jokes about wrestling, why kids suck, and the truth about immigration. As seen and heard on Live at the Apollo (BBC), Jonathan Ross' Comedy Club (ITV) and the Off-Menu podcast.
Three-time Leicester Comedy Festival nominee and tour support for Judi Love, Kiri Pritchard-McLean, Ed Gamble and Catherine Cohen. 'Uproariously hilarious' ***** (Broadway World) **** (The List) **** The Scotsman)**** (Beyond the Joke)
