choirbairn Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I'm going to Edinburgh on Tuesday and am looking for a comedian to see at about 9pm (have other tickets booked for other times). Had a quick look and the only guys I can see who are on about that time that I really know of are Henning Wehn and Mark Watson. Anybody seen either of these two live, or recommend any other options?

ForzaDundee Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Seen Henning Wehn on TV a few times. Good guy but not funny. I'm working at the Assembly so hopefully get to see quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldo Ponce Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Just booked tickets for Frank Skinner next Friday, a straight in and out job. Hopefully I'll get back for a full day at some point this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is painful to watch, did you know he was German and that there have been two world wars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mon_The_Fife Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 I went to see Mark Watson playing at Alhambra in Dunfermline a few years back. Was pretty funny and well worth checking out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marching in Flipflops Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Des Bishop is usually excellent. Irish/American guy who's last show was about his dad nearly becoming James Bond after big Tam. He's just spent a year in China learning the language to do stand-up in Chinese and that's what this show is about. He also made a series for RTE when he was there and, by all accounts, it was brilliantly received. Planning on seeing him next weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

choirbairn Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 Thanks for all the feedback. I haven't liked Mark Watson enough any time I've seen him on telly to want to pay for watch him for an hour (I think he would begin to annoy me after about 20 minutes) and I wasn't convinced about Henning Wehn either. Seen him on TV and heard him on radio and liked him initially, but I saw him on one show last year and didn't think he was that funny. In the end I got tickets for Damian Clark, an Aussie who moved to Ireland about 10 years ago and now seems to be UK-based. Stuff I could find online wasn't too bad, but neither my mate who has lived in Australia for 30 years, his Irish wife, or a workmate who spends quite a bit of time visiting family in Ireland have heard of him. Tickets were 2 for 1, so I reckoned it was worth chancing a tenner to find out if he's any good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's funny on Twitter and a lot of other comedians seem to rate him highly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
