R.B. Sheridan’s hilarious 18th Century farce has kept audiences in hysterics for exactly 232 years. Under Lady Sneerwell’s bitter gaze a group of scandalmongers wreak havoc in London society. Will love prevail?

Drop everything! This well known TV house band are here in the flesh and there’s plenty on offer… The full force of their live show is something to behold. The fabulous foursome are storming back with another helping of frisky footwork and musical madness. Hot off the heels of their smash hit UK tour, Fringe favourites 4 Poofs and a Piano are returning with their popular brand of irreverent humour and lush harmonies. Fun, outrageous and rarely in the best possible taste.

Fresh from Channel 4 and critically acclaimed tour of Great Britain and Ireland, “the funniest sketch troupe on the Fringe”(Scotsman, Aug 08), Pappy's Fun Club, return to take Edinburgh, and the record books, by storm.

In 2007 they were nominated for the If.comedy award. In 2008 they won Chortle Best Sketch Act, performed in Australia and had their own shows on Channel 4 and Radio 4. In 2009 they attempt the impossible.

THIS SHOW HAS SOLD OUT. However, Rhod is also performing at the Pleasance Live 25 Gala on Saturday 8 August and has a number of extra shows scheduled.

Many comics have asked, “What’s the difference between men and women?” Is it that men sometimes do a turd so impressive, they want to show you? In this show, if.comedy Best Newcomer winner Sarah Millican gets to the bottom of it. And finds out whether it’s hairy or not.
