About this show
A compilation of comedians telling their worst, most ill-judged jokes. We invite the best comedians at the Fringe to delve into their archives to find material that has never worked, to test ideas that really do make you wonder, 'What on earth were they thinking?'. An anarchic late night show where everything is designed to go wrong.
