Description

Following a host of sell-out shows and hot on the heels of last year's debut, Couple's Massage, Scottish comedian and writer Richard Cobb returns to the track with a brand-new hour filled with more guilt-tripped and incredibly stressful anecdotes. The honeymoon is over and the running shoes are on. But can he really win the Edinburgh Marathon? 'I’ve been going to the Fringe for 25 years or so and genuinely this is the most impressive full debut I’ve seen from a stand up' (Audience review). 'He has an easy affable charm' (Lancaster Guardian).

Spend an easy hour with Richard! Loved his laid back storytelling, and good humour on running, dogs, and being a competitive so-and-so! Could relate. Would recommend!

An enjoyable hour of chat and anecdotes. I never realised that anyone else shared my charity shop ambitions! Worth seeing.

This show is proper Edinburgh Fringe. A bloke with a microphone on a small stage in a pub basement, telling funny stories.

We laughed, we cringed, we sympathised and most importantly we all had a good time! It wasn’t overly political, so you’d be safe to go with any work pals who have different views from you.

Could be the perfect show to take in “on the way home” for people working in Tollcross?

Equally, it’s just a short walk from lots of other venues if you’re seeing lots of stuff, like us!

Now following on Twitter & hoping to see again, whether in London or Edinburgh.

Subtle and wry, this is a finely structured hour of comedy, constantly entertaining and heartwarming.
