Is He Bothering You?

Come along to Club Voltaire to watch a free work-in-progress stand-up comedy show ahead of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

The comedian is convivial and warm, he's standing up - a bold artistic choice - there's a good blend of jokes. There's substance to the show too, he speaks about the taboo epidemic of loneliness.
You feel seen by this.

That was fun, you've stockpiled enough laughter and a sense of common humanity to shield you, and you shall need it when the horrors return. As they surely must.
