About this show
After a sell-out, critically acclaimed Fringe debut, Rory Marshall's back with his most pathetic character yet: Rory Marshall. A character-comedy journey through the life's work of a jack-of-all-trades. Rory once spent two days being paid to put pipes inside other pipes, and in some ways this show's a lot like that. Top Three Debut Comedy Shows 2025 (Times). Edinburgh Fringe 2025's Best-Reviewed Shows (Comedy.co.uk). Chortle Awards 2026 nominee. 'I laughed so loud it was almost embarrassing' * (Metro). 'Deliciously good' (Times). (Scotsman). As seen on Starstruck, Ellie & Natasia and Bait.
