About this show
Award-winning comedian Tom Short attempts to become famous by outsourcing his Edinburgh show to artificial intelligence – and the audience. What could possibly go wrong? Blending stand-up, live tech and audience suggestions, this chaotic and unpredictable hour is reshaped nightly in pursuit of the perfect Edinburgh show. As the algorithm takes control, it spirals into something increasingly strange... and worryingly accurate. A sharp, funny and slightly unhinged take on fame, identity and the internet’s obsession with validation. 'One to watch' (StarburstMagazine.com).
