 Established comedian and best-selling
author Eddy Brimson, presents his first pure stand-up show at the FREE FESTIVAL.In this hour-long show Eddy examines how we are all free to make choices in
life, one of the biggest being whether or not to have kids, a hot topic due to
Scotland’s dwindling population. Is it to be the Early Learning Centre or the Flight
Centre? … Oh the joys of being child free … !
Fiercely intelligent but with cheeky charm, Eddy will be exposing
the ludicrousness of real-life situations; addressing pertinent issues effecting
today’s society such as personal freedom, political correctness gone mad and taking
responsibility for our own actions.
This will be Eddy’s second solo show at The Edinburgh Festival,
following his debut ‘Up the Anti’ in 2005, a true story inspired by the raiding
of his house by MI5.
