A grandson and his grandad perform stand-up together. Sweet in theory. Risky in practice. Very funny in reality. Expect sharp jokes, family stories, generational clashes and the kind of chemistry you only get from almost killing each other at Christmas. Reviews for preview work: 'The funniest act I saw at the Edinburgh Fringe 2024' (Adam Bloom). 'Glorious old-school laughs, all natural, joie de vivre, utterly adorable' (Scotsman). 'A stand out' (FringeFeed.com.au). Come see this Edinburgh Fringe show before the whole thing gets dangerously polished.
