About this show

Matt MacDonald and George Leeson are the Giggle Merchants! Two of the world's greatest young minds return to the Edinburgh Fringe to bring an hour of wall-to-wall laughs and brain rot to the Edinburgh Fringe! Two rising stars of the Scottish comedy scene bring their A-game to the Fringe. Expect non-stop laughs, tough questions, hard truths, at least one VAR check and a soundboard that won’t cooperate. The Merchants have a giggle for everyone, bridging the gap between well-crafted stand-up and internet-poisoned degeneracy.
