Andrea Hubert: Edinburgh Preview & Stephen Carlin Theatre & Performing Arts

Andrea presents a work in progress show, in
preparation for the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
Andrea Hubert started out on the comedy circuit in
late 2009, and within 20 gigs gained second place
in a national competition. She’s since performed
alongside some of the UK’s best comedians at
prestigious comedy clubs all over the UK, been
commissioned as a writer for a BBC pilot and was
shortlisted for the BAFTA Rocliffe New Writing
Forum at the New York Television Festival 2012.
She was dubbed One to Watch in 2012 by London
is Funny, for whom she went on to write a comedy
poetry blog in 2012.

In 2013, Andrea and her writing partner Ryan Cull
won the prestigious BAFTA Rocliffe New Writing
Forum competition, beating over 500 other entrants.
The writing pair are currently working on a new
sitcom as part of a development deal with Objective
Productions (makers of Peep Show and Fresh Meat.)
She is also producing a book of short plays, and
continues to contribute regular interviews and features
to The Guardian.

"She does a good line in comic bile, and the honesty
on display is vivid… simultaneously funny, horrific,
shocking and genuine. It's a fine balancing act from
a performer with charm and skill." Fest

“A keen writing skill [and] archly cynical attitude.
Her slick, fluid set is rich with inventive, sarcastic
gags hung round an intriguing personality." Chortle

Stephen Carlin: Mobocracy

Terse and intense Stephen Carlin holds the bottom
of a dirty whisky glass to his eye and sees the world
through its filthy clouded prism reporting his findings
in the tight brutal patois of the Scottish Snooker Club. 

Carlin has earned critical acclaim, accolades and a
growing fan base with his original and insightful
writing style and accomplished delivery. An
enigmatic act, Stephen uses a unique pattern of
delivery to amuse the audience with unexpected
and off-the-wall references. From his sartorial
elegance to his in-depth and hilarious knowledge of
international snooker,

Carlin’s performance takes the audience into the
mind of a passionate obsessive. This man is well on
his way to become Scotland's newest addition to its
history of brilliant comedians. He was also named
by Stewart Lee as one of the Ten Best Comedians
in the World Ever. Stephen co-created and co-wrote
the new BBC Radio 4 show The Headset Set.

“His brand of deadpan wit is well overdue
widespread recognition.” Broadway Baby
