Stand up tragedy – Daniel Simpson

Next month, for two nights only, I shall Stand Up Tragically, on the fringe of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, for free. So come and laugh!

Stand Up Tragedy is downstairs at the Fiddlers Elbow, from 3-14 August, at 18:30 for an hour. I’ll be there on Friday 9 and Sunday 11. For a flavour of what to expect, here’s what the organisers say: “Why just laugh, when you can laugh until you cry and cry until you laugh?”

In other words:

“We make you sad; we make you think; we make you smile. Expect music, comedy, fiction, spoken word, true stories and more, all playing up to the tragic form but not always taking it seriously.”

Here I am onstage, at the Dogstar in Brixton (and here’s an interview beforehand)
