Shortlisted for the ISH Edinburgh Comedy Best Show Award in 2025. The best-joke-list-bothering, holey-cheese-flinging Falafel is back with another thickly-sliced slab of stupid. Including but not limited to: mind reading mic stands, sausage-based nonsense and art-related buffoonery. It won’t be sensible. 'On course to become an Edinburgh Fringe legend' ***** (GetYourCoatsOn.com). 'This is a must-see show' ***** (ThePhoenixRemix.com). 'One of the most creative shows I've seen at the Fringe' **** (EdFringeReview.com).
