Description
The Pigeons are up against the clock! Running Out of Time! is The Milky Pigeons' debut full-length sketch-comedy show. Emulating the fast-paced and varied style of your For You Page, the Pigeons' hilarious sketches shape a commentary on how the influence of social media has reduced our attention spans. The art of comedy is in a new digital era. We ask: Can comedians still trust an audience to remain focused for 45 minutes?Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.

Original, witty, energetic and hilariously funny sketch show. It’s laugh out loud from start to finish with clever use of music and audience interaction. Conor and Aaran are the perfect double act bringing so much energy to the show and their timing is perfect. They race against the clock and run through sketch after sketch and at the end you wish they hadn’t run out of time. They were sold out at the weekend so buy your tickets so you’re not disappointed. This is a must see show at the fringe if you love comedy so go and see it!

One of my favourite shows I’ve seen at fringe this year. Loved it so much I went back a second time. The dynamic between the two comedians is hilarious and compelling, I was engaged the entire time. The use of music and lights also adds so much to the sketches but never felt like a crutch. The direction was also excellent, they clearly have a very talented director. Everyone go and see this show!!!

I laughed from the moment the clock started till it stopped! If you like sketch comedy go see this show. Up against the clock the Milky Pigeons deliver a slick, hilarious and brilliantly written frenetic show that doesn’t disappoint. The audience participation where Billy willingly assisted the lads at various points in the show was superb! One of the best shows I’ve seen so far here! Dont run out of time go see these lads. They’re full of energy, brilliant ideas and have huge potential to go far!

This is one of my favourite comedy groups. Ive been lucky enough to see them LOADS of times and it is still bloody hilarious. I watched ‘running out of time!’ twice as I had to take my boyfriend, mum and dad. It is for everyone!! Highly recommend.

What an amaaaaazing funny fast paced witty and current comedy show. These guys have so much energy that is passed on to the audience. Absolutely spot on for an introduction to comedy for our 14 and 15 year old boys who laughed their whole way through. If you haven’t got tickets you need to. Definitely a show jot to be missed …. Thanks guys x

What an amazing sketch show! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Laugh out loud fast paced comedy at its best from an up and coming group. Sold out last night! Definitely recommend seeing this one. 45 minutes of fun against the clock. Great audience participation and the Ronnie O’Sullivan impression is worth the wait.

A show for all ages. Very funny throughout. Excellent chemistry between Conor and Arran. Loved the variety of sketches and the rapid pace. Best 45 minutes across all the shows we saw this week. 5 stars!

What a brilliant concept! And they smashed it - such a high-energy 45 minutes that kept the audience in stitches throughout. Great chemistry between Conor and Arran. Highly recommend.
Ana Deeley 22 days ago
Absolutely hilarious!! I haven’t laughed that much in a very long time - couldn’t breathe for some of it. Went with some friends and we all had a great time. Their sketches were made so cleverly and brilliantly. Tip: sit in the front row

A must see at The Fringe. Talented Conor and Arran put everything into their hilarious comedy sketches. Never stopped laughing for the too short 45 minutes.

One of the Pigeons gave us a flyer a few days ago and we're so glad they did! Blown away by the talent and wit of both performers. I would like all shows to have a countdown clock now! Check this show out before you run out of time!!!

What a show belly, laughs from start to end. Highly recommend to take the time to see the Milky Pigeons
Neil Mather 27 days ago
What a brilliant show which made me laugh out loud for 45 minutes. High energy mayhem throughout but great comedic timing from the boys. Some very clever sketches and the bond sketch to start kicked it off to perfection. This a must see at the Fringe if you love comedy!!
Ferdinand Ray 27 days ago
Such a brilliant show!! The sketches are hysterically funny, and some of the most bizarre and unpredictable at the Fringe this year. The pace and comic timing are crazy, and the energy Conor and Arran maintain across the whole thing is borderline superhuman — it feels like complete chaos while you’re watching it, but the fact that they always hit the final words on the last second of the timer is proof that they’re just that good. Hilariously written, immaculately structured, never half-arsed, and constantly subverting expectations — you’d be doing yourself a huge disservice to miss it!!

This dynamic pair are bloody hilarious. We were all laughing throughout. So quick witted, so unique, so clever. I wish they didn’t run out of time…
Alex 30 days ago
They might be running out of time, but have plenty of charisma to make up for it. Aaron and Conor's dynamic and innovative approach to sketch comedy and ability to engage the audience (without degradation) makes this a must-watch. A combination of bottomless chemistry and undeniable talent.

Sketch comedy lovers need to run on down to Edinburgh to see this talented duo perform some hilarious comedy (quickly though, else they’ll run out of time!!) It’s clearly a well-thought out and well-rehearsed performance from the entire team. Arran and Conor are a barrel of laughs, full of personality while still doing a brilliant job of showcasing a variety of characters (shame about Ronnie O’Sullivan, IYKYK.) They also do a superb job with improvisation which really highlights how talented they are. Definitely a show to see at the Edinburgh Fringe this year!

What a brilliant show. These guys are so inventive and have brilliant chemistry, and the sketches came thick and fast. They probably don’t want comparisons, but Fry and Laurie would be proud to have passed the baton. Amazing physicality as well, which really enhanced the superb writing. And even though I was pulled onto the stage, there was no cruelty or humiliation. I enjoyed my 3 minutes in the limelight. Seem like lovely blokes. A highly recommended show. A bright future for these two.
