After a full evening of comedy, we’re starting off the new day with – more comedy! A free show from a couple of guys who look funny on paper, at least! They’re Joby Mageean and Edy Hurst: Dead Nice Boys, at Upstairs Bar @ Laughing Horse @ Southside Social, at 12:00 noon on Thursday 24th. Let’s take a look at the blurb: “Edy Hurst and Joby Mageean are great friends and great comedians. This year they’re putting both to the test by sharing an hour at the Edinburgh Fringe. Joby Mageean is Leicester Square Act of the Year and Chortle’s Comedian to Watch 2017. ‘Actual proper gags… and charisma to spare. He should go far’ (Chortle.co.uk). ‘Hilarious gags and brilliantly written songs’ (ThreeWeeks). Edy Hurst is winner of Tickled Pig and has appeared on BBC Radio Lancashire. ‘A manic ball of comedy energy’ (Gigglebeats.co.uk). ‘Joyous comic to behold’ (ManchesterWire.co.uk).”

Always a risk when you take a punt on new comedy, but here’s hoping for a good show. Check back around 1.15 pm to see how much we laughed. By then the next preview blog should be available to read too.

Not for nothing are they called the Dead Nice Boys – and they’re not even dead. Really enjoyed the show; Joby has brilliantly funny material and a very winning personality that we both found very engaging. Edy has some delightfully stupid comedy songs and a great new way of performing James Bond themes. Definitely two guys to watch and I hope we get to see them again soon!
