Lauren Pattison: Big Girl Pants 

Two-time Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee Lauren Pattison is back with a brand-new show. She's decided she wants to come back bigger, braver and maybe blonder... either way it's time to put her big girl pants on.

Lauren Stone: Cool For Cats

What if an Edwardian lady ghost was also a hard-boiled private detective? What if that detective loved the Muppets? Can a comedy show ever match the joy of getting to stroke a nice cat in the street? Lauren Stone unravels the answers in mischievous style. The Sean Lock Comedy Award-nominated comic promises a deft, daft and generous time.

Lee Kyle: Throwing Bottles Into The Sea

Lee Kyle ('Glorious' (iNews.co.uk)) has been throwing messages in bottles into various seas, due to a mixture of longing for solitude, company and a good story for a Fringe show. And, oh my word does he have one! You'd best believe he has had replies. In this hilarious show from a great storytelling comedian, you'll be surprised at what a bit of fun can lead to.
