About this show
Should you know about your dad's seduction techniques? In 2025 Milo Edwards found a box of old letters in the back of his late Mother's wardrobe. Catamaran is a show about his parents and the letters they wrote and the 1980s, in which Milo asks what remains of a human life, what's torn out, what happens if that life was surprisingly horny... and whatever happened to Jim Lock's catamaran? ‘A formidable stand-up force’ (Comedy.co.uk). ‘One of the UK’s smartest, most vital stand-ups’ (Chortle.co.uk). 'Near perfect' * (TheWeeReview.com). 'Must surely go onwards and upwards' (Telegraph).

Playing at the Monkey Barrel and streaming live on NextUp Comedy, Milo Edwards starts his stand-up show, Catamaran, with a routine about 9/11 and Osama Bin Laden as a social media pioneer. It sets the tone for the rest…
— LouReviews (4 out of 5 stars)
Both of Edwards’ parents are dead, each dying around a different Edinburgh Fringe. Two shows, tick. That fact could easily have sent Catamaran down the familiar route of the deeply personal grief show.
— Roviews (5 out of 5 stars)
3.5 Stars A clever, dextrous hour that has something to say about parent-child relationships, but also growing up in a changing world.
