Description

The Comedy Rooms New Act of the Year 2022 and without doubt one of best musical acts currently on the northern comedy circuit is bringing his solo show to Edinburgh for the first time. A chance to meet the musician-turned-comedian who lets the songs speak for themselves. Noughties nostalgia, old-fashioned foreplay, how to break bad news with a guitar, and a ginger guy’s plea to end racism; every subject is covered with no messing about. 'Immensely promising voice with an eye both for a great joke and a great song' (Paul Sinha).

WOW! Alex really knows how to captivate an audience and will make you laugh until your gut hurts. His hilarious songs will stay with you long after the show ends and leave you wanting more. Can’t wait for his next show!

Last night, we took a spontaneous detour on our way to a late show at the Assembly. A flyer landed in our hands, and we decided, “Why not?” So we checked out Alex Camp’s show—and wow, what a wild ride! From the moment he kicked off with some hilarious crowd work, we were hooked. Then he launched into the funniest song/comedy mashup about his life, that kept us laughing the entire time. It was hands down the most fun we’ve had at the Fringe so far!

Alex's show is a must see!
He merges comedy with catchy musical hi-jinx seamlessly, you'll be laughing till drink squirts out your nose! And quite possibly singing covid baby on the way home :)

This is a treat of a show. Fun, upbeat, engaging; as Alex Camp is warm and enthusiastic.

Obviously a skilled musician, the tunes played are clean but with that touch of flair to show he would rip it if called to. A good range of musical genres, bringing feelings of the likes of Pearl Jam, Robert Johnson, and so much in between.

As to content, initial hints of observational comedy are soon crafted into irreverence and the odd bit of darkness. Alex easily drew in the crowd and carried us along.

This is exactly what fringe is all about! A perfect little hour of light hearted musical silliness that had me crying with laughter throughout :)

A stumble upon show with my out of town bro. Very good fun, like the old days. Small venue, good comedy, good vibe. Worth the money we happily gifted after the show. Well done ginger Alex!
