The Edinburgh Fringe One-Weeker 2017 – Foil, Arms and Hog: Oink, 23rd August 2017

Time for another highlight of the week. We saw these guys in Edinburgh last year with their Doomdah show and they were just sensational. They’re Foil, Arms and Hog: Oink, at Udderbelly @ Underbelly, George Square, at 20:45 on Wednesday 23rd. Here’s the blurb: “Irish comedy, potato, potato, potato, potato, potato, potato, potato, potato, potato, potato, potato… you racist. Ireland’s top comedy trio. Sold out edfringe 2009-2016. Over fifty million hits on YouTube. Fringe favourites Foil, Arms and Hog present their brand new show, Oink. ***** (Irish Times). **** (Times). ***** (Irish Examiner). ***** (Edinburgh Festivals Magazine). ‘Very funny’ (Rowan Atkinson). ‘An effervescent hour of fast-paced gags, fizzing with energy, invention and great lines’ (Chortle.co.uk). ‘Quite simply, a sensation’ (Edinburgh Festivals Magazine).”

Last year I got roped into so many sketches with them, because we sat in the front row. I have to say, I loved every minute of it! Check back around 10 pm to see if I got into trouble again. By then the next preview blog should be available to read too.

Well I managed to sit far enough away to be safe, but there wasn’t quite as much audience participation this year as last… Still extremely funny and inventive and performed with enormous aplomb and joy. You have to see these guys, they are so very very funny!
