About this show
Creator of BBC Radio 4’s hit new sitcom Do Gooders returns with a unique live comedy experiment… Garrett’s built an AI of himself to see if it’s better at comedy than him. Maybe he can finally retire? Join Garrett and Garrett for a blistering hour of the no-holds-barred iconoclastic stand up that has made him one of the stand out acts of his generation. 'A masterclass' (Telegraph). 'Wonderfully funny' (Times). 'Has the room erupting with laughter. Cathartic. Clever. Funny' (Scotsman). 'Devastatingly funny' * (Chortle.co.uk).

What the reviewers said
We have captured 5 published reviews and 10 audience reviews for this show from the Edinburgh Festival Fringe’s own listing. The excerpts below are the reviewers’ words, not ours — follow each link for the full review.
Garrett Millerick fed his 15 years of jokes to an AI expert, who built a computer replica of the long-time stand-up comic that Millerick named G-Dog 2.0. In this show, Millerick and G-Dog alternate telling jokes.
— New York Theater (4 out of 5 stars)
The comedian pits himself against his AI alter ego in a funny, unnerving glimpse of comedy’s technological future
— The List (3 out of 5 stars)
3.5 Stars A clever show that teaches us to not believe what we see on the screen, and to support live stand up, because it is far superior to the alternative.
