Comedy: Something else!

Seize the Brighton Fringe by the scruff of it’s neck and book to see something that surprises you, this week.
Top of that list is Adrienne Truscott’s Asking For It: A One-Lady Rape About Comedy Starring Her Pussy And Little Else!. It sounds more ‘fringe’ than a cycling hedgehog, with Truscott dressed only from the waist up and the ankles down throughout the performance, making jokes about rape – but this is a show of an incredible calibre having picked up the Edinburgh Awards Panel Prize and the Malcolm Hardee Award for Comic Originality in 2013.
Go out story-hunting to Sajeela Kershi’s Immigrant Diaries, an award-winning show now in its fourth year and different every time as she hosts an evening of guests from the world of entertainment telling tales from their own immigrant experiences. It’s on every weekend afternoon during the month, and promises true anecdotes at a time when immigration stories are running hot in the media.
And in case you missed it at Brighton Comic Con last year, make a date with Paul Jones’ The Nerdfather, the one-man show that tells of a father’s love for sci-fi… and his children. And his endeavour to have the two meet.
