    Amy Matthews

    LONDON, 9TH MAY 2023 – Winner of Best Newcomer at the Scottish Comedy Awards 2019 Amy Matthews is set to bring her brand-new hour ‘I Feel Like I’m Made of Spiders’ to the Fringe, performing at Monkey Barrel The Tron at 3pm, throughout the festival.  In her highly-anticipated new show, Amy Matthews spins a sparkling web of comedy magic in a mission to reconnect. After two relationships end in quick succession, she is left swinging between two states - stability and restlessness. Taking you into her world of breaking up, breaking down and the search for connection. Will she fix her life by kitting out an unfurnished flat, sitting in silence with geriatric Quakers, or telecommunication with a Portuguese Metallica fan? This is a show about the thrill of falling and the thud of landing. And after a thud comes a laugh. Amy is a stand-up comedian, whose intelligent, distinctive and warm style has earned her a glittering arrival on the comedy scene. Lily Allen meets Kate McKinnon (Broadway World) in comedic force, she often weaves in and out of wry despair and whimsical imagination. On TV and Radio, Amy has appeared on the BAFTA-award-winning Scot Squad (BBC One), Fred at The Stand (BBC Radio 4), Breaking The News (BBC Radio Scotland), The Good, The Bad & The Unexpected (BBC Radio Scotland), Nihal Arthanayake (BBC 5 Live) and Patrick Kielty (BBC 5 Live). She has also written on Have I Got News for You (BBC One). Amy is a regular on the live circuit, performing at comedy clubs all over the UK & Ireland. She has also been tour support for Rachel Fairburn and Jess Fostekew. She is also the co-host of BBC Sounds podcast Snookered, alongside Des Clarke.  AMY MATTHEWS: I FEEL LIKE I’M MADE OF SPIDERS Venue: Monkey Barrel, The Tron Date & time: Weds 2nd to Sun 27th Aug (excluding Wednesdays) at 3pm Duration: 60 minutes Tickets: www.tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/amy-matthews-i-feel-like-i-m-made-of-spiders YOU CAN FIND MORE OF AMY AT:  Web: www.amymatthewscomedy.com Instagram:@amyfmatthews Twitter: @AmyFMatthews https://www.alphabettitheatre.co.uk/newcastlefringe https://www.facebook.com/AlphabettiTheatre/ https://www.instagram.com/alphabetti_theatre/ https://twitter.com/alphabetti

How have men shaped who she is? Will the chicken-shop guy ever give her the time of day? Why was Mr Blobby her first crush?

Directed by double Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee Amy Gledhill.  Tamsyn Kelly is a working class comedian, actor and writer from Penzance, Cornwall. On TV, she has recently appeared in the Stand Up Sketch Show (ITV2) alongside Seann Walsh, and was a regional finalist in the BBC New Comedian of the Year Award 2021 (BBC One).  She is also set to star in Comedy Central Live (Comedy Central).

    John Tothill

    Winner of 2Northdown’s New Act Competition 2022 John Tothill is bringing his highly-anticipated debut stand-up hour ‘The Last Living Libertine’ to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, performing at Pleasance Courtyard Below at 8.30pm throughout the festival.  Join John Tothill, the Last Living Libertine [citation needed], for his debut hour dedicated to the pursuit of pleasure, full of exaggeration, emancipation and historical speculation. Performed by a gushing bon vivant (and Year 4 teacher), with an aptitude for flights of fancy and a revulsion for the mundane (specifically meal prep), let your cups overflow with this mix of cabaret and TEDTalk (aka stand-up comedy) featuring almost exclusively sleepover-style gossip. Come for the comedy; stay for the leopard print.  John says: “To bring my show to this, the last ever Edinburgh Fringe, means so much, not just to me but to my community (classically trained clarinettists who were in bottom-set PE and now teach English). Here I am, on my knees, begging you to pour yourself a glass of incredibly dry white wine (or very pale rosé, that's fine too) and come to my conventionally attractive, highly educational show all about pleasure, where crucially you will learn nothing, but for a moment you could forget everything.” John Tothill is an actor and comedian, who is now taking the UK comedy scene by storm having won 2Northdown’s New Act Competition in 2022. John has performed at The Upright Citizen’s Brigade in New York and Second City Chicago, as part of his sketch troupe.  This show is directed by and dedicated to the late Adam Brace.  -ENDS- JOHN TOTHILL: THE LAST LIVING LIBERTINE Venue: Pleasance Courtyard, Below Date & time: Weds 2nd to Sun 27th August (excluding 15th) at 8.30pm Duration: 60 minutes Tickets: https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/john-tothill-the-last-living-libertine YOU CAN FIND MORE OF JOHN AT:  Web: https://campsite.bio/johntothill Instagram: @johntothill TikTok: @johntothill
