The Great Big Comedy Picnic
A stand up comedy compilation show Ian Fox has produced and performed in since 2003. It was first housed at The Pod – a giant space age tent. Since then it’s been in various locations including a disused cinema and various pub basements.
In 2005 it became part of the Free Festival programme. A protest movement against the soaring costs for performers at one of the world’s largest arts festivals.
It’s been critics choice on the Edfringe site and received 4 star reviews from 3 weeks.
