Stand-Up Nomad: Backpacking Comedy

Backpackers and travelling comedians have a similar lifestyle: exploring new cultures, travelling light and relying on booze to socialise. This show brings these two groups together with globe-trotting comedians and international visitors from countries like Singapore, Estonia and South Africa. With diverse line-ups each day giving a new insight into places most of us haven't seen and observational comedy for those who have. If you have been backpacking or are currently slumming it in a hostel to see Edinburgh, this is the show for you.

Previous guests have included comics working on their Netflix specials like Ari Shaffir (USA), Kavin Jayaram (Malaysia) and Loyiso Gola (South Africa)

'If this show doesn't make you want to go backpacking you are probably dead inside' **** (TheMusic.com.au).
