Line Up :

Russell Hicks  (Edfringe Preview / Work in Progress)

Russell Hicks, who you've seen on BBC, Channel 4,  Amazon Prime, or from his viral Dear Diary videos on social media, and will see in Edgar Wright's Running Man later this year, is building a new show. One of the most exciting comics to come out of America , now based in the UK , branded one of the 'Top Six Comics to Watch' by LA's Stand Up Talk Magazine. Russell Hicks returns brings his own unique brand of improvised standup comedy Californian style to New Cross! Come join the cult of Russell Hicks followers ( Over 270k & 5.9m likes on TikTok!). Anyone who has seen Russell Hicks knows that it is never the same show twice.

Taking a different approach than most comedians, Russell Hicks weaves improvisation with stream of conscious delivery that has moved many audience members to return for two nights in a row. Nothing in this biography can do his act justice other than to say, you just have to see him live'."Indisputably talented, there’s no comic quite like Russell Hicks.   'Russell Hicks is amazing" (Comedy Palace)

Matt Green: Legitimate Concerns (Edfringe Preview / Work in Progress)

Following his debut sell-out national tour, online comedy star Matt returns with brand new jokes about the state of politics, the world and himself. Matt has moved house and the world has moved into an even more chaotic state. But we can still laugh about it - right? 

Is selling a flat more annoying than Donald Trump? Will Keir Starmer ever be cool? And what happens when an algorithm knows you better than you know yourself? Or are these all just illegitimate concerns?

As seen and heard in his viral clips on social media and YouTube, James O'Brien's show on LBC, Radio 4’s POV, Oh God What Now?, Paper Cuts, Late Night Mash, The Marlow Murder Club and even as a news reporter in Doctor Who! Starred alongside Hollywood's Harvey Keitel in Direct Line advert. You might also have seen the back of his head in A Very Royal Scandal, but only if you were really paying attention in the wedding photographer scene. ★★★★ (The Reviews Hub)
