Molly McGuiness: SLOB (WIP)

THE SHOW

Riddled with guilt in a rise and grind society, self confessed slob-life advocate Molly was beginning to question her choices. Should she have savings? Is it weird to eat your mattress? And is there more to life than a pub with karaoke and a buffet? But when she’s suddenly laid out by a rare life-threatening illness, Molly is forced to slob out whether she likes it or not… 

Molly McGuinness is a Salford-born comedian whose natural warmth conceals razor-sharp working class observations. Since making the finals of the BBC New Comedy Awards she’s popped up on various productions for Comedy Central and BBC Radio 4. She’s also provided tour support for the likes of Joe Lycett and Rachel Fairburn. 
“Molly is a brilliantly dry and very funny comic with super confident stage presence and woefully off-centre killer gags” Joe Lycett

MONKEY BARREL COMEDY

Monkey Barrel Comedy has been ‘Scotland’s Best Comedy Venue’ since 2020 (Chortle Awards) and was described by The List as “a year-round Edinburgh institution”. It has over 500 5-star reviews on TripAdvisor, making it one of the city’s top-rated year-round attractions.

The club was home to both of 2022's Edinburgh Comedy Awards winners, Best Comedy Show 2023 and Best Comedy Show and Best Newcomer 2024. It has been described as the "Beating Heart" of the Fringe by The Telegraph and “the best comedy club in the world” by comedian Olga Koch.
