One of the most exciting new acts on the comedy circuit, rising star Chloe Petts (Hypothetical, Jonathan Ross’ Comedy Club and The Stand-Up Sketch Show) presents her debut show at this year’s Edinburgh Festival Fringe with Transience at Pleasance, Upstairs from 3rd – 28th August at 6.00pm, fresh off the back from supporting Ed Gamble on his Electric 2022 UK tour. A brilliantly sharp live performer, in this debut hour Petts uses her trademark cerebral “laddishness” to examine her desperate attempts at living in the moment, the darts and her (strictly non-romantic) love for men who watch it.
