About this show
Come join one of Edinburgh's most exciting new comedians for an extended set of laughter! Liam Jackson brings a hilarious show to this year's Fringe, documenting his precarious experiences in the increasingly dire world of work and being broke in cost-of-living crisis times. Expect biting observations from unemployment to Scottish culture, and personal anecdotes on travel and relationships, that are in equal parts sincere and hysterical! Liam regularly performs stand-up around Scotland. 'Jokes, material and great delivery. Big laughs throughout. Also. Funny!' (The Stand Comedy Club). 'Definitely a comedian I'd like to see more of' (One4Review.co.uk).
