A is for… Award-winners
We’ll have to wait until the end of the festival to find out who’s won 2014’s Foster’s Edinburgh Comedy Award – the biggest gong in live comedy. But in the mean time, this year’s fest is crawling with previous winners making triumphant returns. Bridget Christie, who won last year’s award for her superb show attacking everyday sexism, is back with ‘An Ungrateful Woman’. Will Adamsdale makes his first comedy return to Edinburgh – ‘Borders’ – since winning the Perrier Award (as it used to be called) in 2004 for ‘Jackson’s Way’. Poet/Kronenbourg guzzler Tim Key, 2009’s winner, brings ‘Single White Slut’ to one of the fest’s biggest venues. But we’re most excited about the return of Adam Riches (pictured). He wowed the judges in 2011 with his ridiculously silly hour of knockabout character comedy. His new show, ‘Adam of the Riches’, will surely be one of this year’s big-hitters.
