Description
Will Owen loves watching shows. He wishes he could watch this one, but regrettably he's the one performing it. The Winner of Leicester Square New Comedian 2022 debuts a glittering hour of fastidiously-curated spontaneity. Watch Will watch himself clamour for a place in the hearts of the Great British Public, as he journeys through popularity, performance and the Pussycat Dolls. He will dance like nobody's watching. Just as long as somebody is. 'Biting yet with an archetypal Gen Z indifference... it's a winning formula' (Chortle.co.uk).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.

Will is really funny no doubt but let's just say my experience was very unique. Audience participation can be fun (fringe has plenty) but some warning would be nice as not everyone (yours truly) wants to be put on the spot in that way. Tl;dr Funnny comedy but forced unexpected participation not cool in my book

I picked this not knowing what to expect and had one of the funniest nights at the fringe. Quick paced, tons of gags and brilliant timing. Loved it!

Will's show was my absolute favourite from the fringe this year! Hilariously funny from start to finish with by far the best audience engagement I've seen. A must see - can't wait for more!

What a show! Was folded over laughing throughout this show. There’s a joke every line. Will is an insane talent and will no doubt blow up post Edinburgh. You have to catch this show while you can.

My favourite show of the fringe by a mile! The fact this is Will’s debt is wild. He’s so slick, warm, wickedly silly. Dealing with rowdy audience members like a pro and bringing us all into his world so seamlessly, if you want to be able to say ‘I saw him at Edinburgh fringe before he was famous’ this is a must-see show. He’s got the O Factor!

The best show I saw at the Fringe! I couldn’t stop laughing the whole time. A must-see comedian with star quality.

Fantastic Show! Will is quick witted and easily deals with audience members stepping out of line whilst he's telling his story! Interweaving life growing up with Strictly Come Dancing clearly shows this boy is also very competitive. Highly recommended.

Absolutely adored this show from start to finish!! It was such an engaging, charismatic performance which had me creaaaasing!! One of the best shows I saw this fringe

This is SUCH a brilliant show. Will had the entire audience in stitches from the beginning to the end of this slick, original, and hilarious hour. 5 stars - get tickets while you still can.

Don't tend to watch comedy off screen or atleast can't afford it but deciding to continue our night after dinner and drinks with some comedy was the best decision. Will was hilarious, dry humour mixed with self deprecation but also lots of self appreciation. Will is a showman through and through, the show was slick and smooth and had my face hurting from laughing. On a different note, regardless of sexuality, Will recounts some beautiful and inherently funny memories that also served as a love letter to all the little boys that didn't fit in.

Up there with one of the best shows I watched at Fringe- completely hilarious. Deserves to be sold out every night !!

This is a flawlessly hilarious show. Will has SUCH a likeable stage presence; it is slick as f**k and his audience interaction is spot on. Will deserves to be selling out this run. I would really really recommend.

Incredible show! So glad we went to see this — had the entire room bouncing with laughter.
Excellent standup set, joke-laden throughout with some moments of heartfelt _vulnerability_, quickly pierced by punchlines. Genuinely a must see!
Luke Martin 27 days ago
The best show we watched at the Fringe, so good we saw it twice! Will is absolutely hilarious. The perfect way to end your evening or start your night out - 10/10 would recommend!!

We absolutely loved this show, so funny and witty. Really well written, and Will’s comedic timing was excellent, his engagement with the audience was 10/10! Definitely one to watch!

Dreadful, was strongly debating leaving half way through. Comedian clearly had friends attending that night as he resolutely ignored the middle and our side of the room and performed the stand up entirely to them. I didn’t really mind though because there was nothing of note with this routine - I feel I could have had a similar (and funnier) experience talking to someone in a club smoking area. The whole venue was considerably colder than a smoking area too. Some say hell is made of ice, and after my experience in this show I’m inclined to agree.

This was literally the most hilarious thing I've seen in a very long time! You sit down and immediately you are tear laughing the entire way through it. An hour just wasn't enough, could listen to him for days!
Katy Kedslie 32 days ago
Will had us laughing out loud for an hour straight, his friendly and very witty manner was top notch! I’d highly recommend heading along to his show, perfect for rounding off a day at the fringe :) 10/10

Just SO good. Probably the most joyful show I saw at the Fringe. Love everything about his style and delivery. So charismatic and hilarious. Will be going again when he (surely?) comes to London.
Georgie 34 days ago
Such an entertaining show, had me in fits from start to end, but actually some really clever big themes tied in. Really great to see such young talent at the fringe. Would 10/10 recommend to a friend!!!!!!
Jessica Banks 36 days ago
Will kept us laughing from start to finish with an impeccably timed set. So glad we came to see his show and we'd heartily recommend all others to come along join in.
Special mention goes to the Strictly and X Factor material, it got our final vote!

SO GOOD. Defo go see this show. Perfect as a post dinner/ drinks situ or even a pre’s. We were so in the mood for a night out afterwards. UNREAL
Siobhan Cassidy 37 days ago
Will made me belly laugh for an hour straight. His comedic timing is unmatched, and he provides a safe and warm place where you feel like you’re having a catch-up with an old friend who just happens to be the funniest person you know. 5 stars (or a Strictly come dancing 10).

Five stars! I hope everyone gets the chance to see this show. Will Owen had me laughing for 60 minutes straight and sad that it had to end!
