Description

Eleven hilarious veterans take to the stage in a factory to tell comical stories about life, military service and dogs. Yes, you read that correctly! Not only have they served their country, they also serve up fantastic comedy. Performing last year for the first time on a Fringe stage as part of the Royal British Legion’s recovery through comedy programme. This year they return, funnier and more determined than ever. They are now the Veteran’s Comedy Club, with new material, more confidence and an amazing show. So prepare to laugh until your sides hurt.

Very much enjoyed all the acts, and the back stories. Always wondered why Marie Cross didn't enjoy tennis!
Happy and proud to support this organisation.
(And had a lovely guided tour of the venue, which I had never heard of before this week: definitely recommend that too)

A showcase of performers discussing their experiences as military veterans and helping to process them through comedy. It’s a fantastic initiative that yields hilarious results in a hugely enjoyable show that provides insightful new perspectives. I would highly recommend it and supporting Veteran’s Comedy Club.
