Description

Join multi award-winner Nina Gilligan for her hilarious hour of stand-up, Goldfish. Memory loss, health anxiety, goldfish-related trauma. Things you need to remember and the thing you can't forget. As heard on BBC Radio 4 and voted Best Club Comedian (Chortle.co.uk), Nina is described as a 'bolshier Mrs Merton' (Skinny) and known as 'a vivacious, life embracing performer, with a cheeky, ready wit' (Scotsman).

Whip smart, earthy, straight talking, honest and an absolute joy to watch.

Midway between Sarah Millican and Janey Godley in delivery. Really strong material, put over so well, with excellent audience work. The audience were in bits, some laughing so hard the rest of the audience would laughing even more. Like a Mexican wave of laughter, constantly.

One of those stand up comedians whos material is likely to get quoted, it’s so good.

I took a wild punt on this show and I’m so glad I did. Make sure you do too

I'd seen Nina perform a set on a mixed bill just before the festival which put this very much on my must see list for the Fringe. I wasn't disappointed. Laughed loudly and non stop. If you're stuck between which evening show to go to. Go to this. It is hilarious with broad appeal whilst also managing to be incredibly poignant. MILFO was one of the funniest things I've ever heard. Told my sister who agreed. Did not tell my mum. She can be sensitive. Fabulous.

Daft and poignant in equal measures. Just what a fringe show should be. Highly recommend

Thank you Nina for a great show. Laugh out loud funny and surreal at times while focussing on some seriously tough issues. Thoroughly recommend. Go see Nina when you can.

Ms Gilligan’s friendly and charming, so the front row’s a safe place to sit (especially if you like bubbles!).

Nina Gilligan is a feisty, charming comedian “from the North” of England, who reminds me somewhat of a Mancunian Janey Godley.
