We’re looking for 10 brave and talented comedy virgins to perform five minutes of stand-up comedy at the world’s largest arts festival, the Edinburgh Fringe, in August 2026.
Funny Women talk to Nina Conti about her quirky directorial debut ‘Sunlight’, A hilariously dark and unconventional love story, following two people on the edge of life who find purpose and romance through an unlikely connection, escaping the darkness in search of some sunlight.
Located in Southwark under the old union yard arches, a brand new theatre venue from The Free Association – London’s biggest name in improvised comedy – is introduced in South London.
Co-written by Nina Conti and Shenoah Allen, the script was simultaneously punchy, funny, tragic, and bizarre. The chemistry between Conti and Allen as comedians, creatives, and co-leads was electric.
