Seen Freddy on Saturday night and he was class. Not a busy show but it didn't matter, everyone was in hysterics.

Absolutely brilliant show! I often listen to Freddy on various podcasts, where he never fails to make me roar with laughter.
I travelled over from Glasgow with friends to see him last evening after first seeing him in Birmingham, 2018, when he supported Adam Rowe.
He was hilarious, fluent, relevant and incredibly engaging. He was well worth the travel and effort and I hope to see him again soon.
Fully recommend the show (or any Freddy performance!)

Do me a favour, don’t waste your time and money on this horrendous show. All he did was make a room full of people deeply uncomfortable. His pathetic attempts to be dark and edgy involved him just saying disgusting unfunny rubbish for an hour. What a miserable waste of my time.

If you are in any way easily offended, this probably isn't the show for you - which is a shame as you'll definitely be missing out!
There is nothing Freddy won't poke fun at, which makes for a really enjoyable hour of Comedy. This was definitely in my top 5 shows this year.

I saw Freddy perform at the Mash House this Fringe and it was the most preposterously offensive, abhorrent “comic” set I have ever seen in my life. His humour includes racism, misogyny, homophobia, fatphobia, jokes about suicide and the Holocaust and more. He joked about sexually assaulting audience members and responded to justified hecklers by insinuating he would lock them up in his basement and torture them. From this experience, I would recommend this show to anyone. I would never normally review a show after seeing it, but this is what you get for being a funny fella.

If you enjoy dark comedy go and see him. Absolute dark comedy master class. No one and nothing is off limits
