Description

He's back – and unstoppable. Gyles Brandreth can't stop talking. The jumper-loving This Morning and Just A Minute star, who pops up on Pointless, QI, Would I Lie To You?, Sunday Brunch, and Celebrity Gogglebox, has been babbling since he was a baby, and in his hilarious new one-man show, the award-winning raconteur tries to work out why. He's won the Audience Award for Most Popular Show on the Fringe, multiple five-star reviews and every time he's in Edinburgh, his shows sell out. Fast. Book now. 'Wildly funny' (Daily Mail). 'Absolute joy' (Scotsman). 'Genius' (Telegraph).

How is it that 75-year-old former MP Gyles Brandreth has the energy of a whipper-snapper fresh out of university?

The Recs (5/5 stars) 31 days ago

There is something so naughty-but-irresistible about Gyles Brandreth. He’s like the cream scone of the Fringe. You know it’s deliciously indulgent and yet it’s something you’ll never regret.

Gyles is a fascinating presence, drawing the audience in with his rich storytelling ability, his positive and warm demeanour, and his sharp wit.

UK Theatre Network (5/5 stars) 42 days ago

When I retired from a career as an arts journalist I remember thinking, Oh no! I won't be able to interview Gyles Brandreth again! Because we all know what a magnificent storyteller (and name-dropper) he is.
