Wednesday 2 July: Comic Relief Live! is returning to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival for an unmissable one-night-only show hosted by comedy powerhouse, Rosie Jones.
Fresh off the back of her smash-hit debut sitcom Pushers for Channel 4 and her first international tour Triple Threat, Rosie Jones will bring cheek, charm and shenanigans a plenty, in an extra-special night of laughter to raise money for Comic Relief.
Taking place at the prestigious Assembly Hall at 8pm on Monday 18 August, Rosie will be joined by some of the UK’s brightest, boldest and award-winning comedy names for an unpredictable and undeniably funny stand-up show in the Scottish capital.
Comic Relief Live! will feature a stellar line-up including comedy legend Sally Phillips who has lit up the Fringe in nine previous riotous runs, and like Rosie is a long-term Comic Relief supporter. Rosie and Sally will be joined by three incredibly talented comedians making their Comic Relief performing debut, including viral sensation and mischief-maker Max Fosh who has just finished his international comedy tour Loophole and is known for his outrageous real-life stunts; rising star Chloe Petts, a BBC Comedy Award nominee and multi-award finalist who's fast becoming one of the sharpest voices in stand-up; and Urooj Ashfaq, one of India’s most exciting new comics and winner of the Best Newcomer at the Edinburgh Comedy Awards in 2023.
Rosie Jones said: “This is going to be such a fun night, and anyone who knows me knows that I’ll be taking my hosting duties as seriously as you’d expect. I still can’t believe Comic Relief have naively entrusted me with such power, but here we are! In Max, Chloe, Sally and Urooj we have a truly hilarious line-up, and I can’t wait to come together with them all to help raise some vital funds for such an incredible cause. We’d love for you to join us – so be sure to get your ticket now."
A portion of the proceeds* from ticket sales will go to Comic Relief, to help people here in the UK and around the world get the basics that everyone needs to thrive, not merely survive – food, healthcare, education, a safe home, and a fair chance at life.
Tickets are £18 can be purchased from assemblyfestival.com(opens in new window).
