<h1>Edgy Comedy is Back!</h1><h3><em>If you buy a ticket - you will be emailed with the venue details at 3.30pm tomorrow.</em></h3><h3>Dominic Frisby, Alistair Williams, Mary Bourke, Graham Linehan &amp; Bruce Devlin MC</h3><p>Having consistently sold out shows in London for the past 5 years, Comedy Unleashed brings more of its refreshing brand of stand-up comedy to  Edinburgh.</p><p>Comedy Unleashed hosts comics who are free-thinking, counter-cultural and have a bit of an edge. If a comedian gets cancelled for their views, we put them on. The audience should be the only judge and if something is funny… it’s funny. </p><h3>Graham Linehan</h3><p>C﻿o-creator of Father Ted and a wonderful comic writer brings his craft to stand-up comedy. They keep trying to cancel him, but he's not having it!</p><h3>Dominic Frisby</h3><p>Dominic is a libertarian version of Billy Bragg (with a sense of humour). He tells jokes, he sings songs. Creator of internet sensation '<a href="https://youtu.be/f2zJ8vaB5jo" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">17 million f*** offs</a>' and writer of hilarious songs that satirise our bonkers culture, including the recent 'Gonna Mary Gary'. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=comedy+unleashed+dominic+frisby" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Here are some videos of Dominic at the London club</a></p><h3>Mary Bourke </h3><p>When a New York Times reporter asked Mary if she "was afraid of destroying her career" with her closing routine, she laughed. Mary has the fearlessness of the Irish and is unafraid of challenging the censorious climate. <a href="https://youtu.be/BcFkfLeJ6Zk" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Here's a video of Mary at the London club</a>.</p><h3>Alistair Williams </h3><p>Excluded from most comedy clubs and banned from YouTube, Alistair Williams is utterly counter-cultural and bloody hilarious. Alistair did a gig at the London club recently and we were inundated with requests to put him on again. <a href="https://youtu.be/J61mDnxTYVg" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Here’s clip of Alistair at the London club</a></p><h3>Bruce Devlin</h3><p>Bruce is an acerbic Scottish comedian and will be our MC for the evening. “Devlin’s super charged introductions could make Richard Pryor look like a slow starter”</p><h3>Why Comedy Unleashed?</h3><p>Andrew Doyle: “Andy Shaw and I set up Comedy Unleashed because we feel that the time is right for a new alternative comedy movement. We book comics from all political backgrounds, or those who have no interest in politics at all. Our key criteria is that they are talented and funny.” <a href="https://youtu.be/IAqIS6e-dls" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Here’s a video from the London club </a></p><h3>Details </h3><p>D﻿oors open 6pm.
