About this show
100% Badgers returns to the Edinburgh Fringe after a sell-out 2025 run. This is a stand-up comedy show about how the worlds of humans and badgers collide. Matt takes us on his journey from a passing interest in badgers to an obsession that led to him standing in a field looking at a caged, frightened badger caught up in the controversy of the bovine TB debate. 'His storytelling is gripping, his facts are fascinating and his punchlines are perfectly timed' ½ (Edinburgh-Reviews.co.uk). 'Belly laughs' (BroadwayBaby.com).

Matt Hobs is an endearing character with a genuine and real passion for Badgers and small British wildlife. He originally started writing this show as a badger fan and submitted 100% Badgers as a “haha, I enjoy badgers”…
