London's favourite small comedy club returns to the Fringe after a run of sell-out shows at Fringe 2004 at the UCW Club (Now Lindsay's)...

The Free Pick of the Fringe show selects choice comedians from across the Fringe. Different line-up every night. Top Acts. New Acts and a mix of comperes make this the best way to see a changing selection of comedians, and it won’t cost you a penny.

After the success of last year’s Free show “Laughing Horse Comedy Gladiators”, at the UCW club, and against the growing trend of high ticket prices, Laughing Horse Comedy returns to the Fringe in 2005 with two comedy club show, shows: ‘Laughing Horse Free Comedy Selection’, atLindsay’s, and ‘Laughing Horse Free Pick of the Fringe’ at The Canon’s Gait.

Both shows will run every night from August 6th to 27th (except Mondays), and will feature an eclectic line-up of five different comedians at every show – with acts selected each day from shows across the Fringe, alongside the best in new comedy talent chosen from around the UK, and from this year’s ‘Laughing Horse New Act of the Year’ competition – including the competition winner James Branch.

The nightly line-up is completed with a rotating selection of comperes, including Marc Blake (‘A ream of clever one-liners’ Scotsman), Kevin McCarron (“Great Comedy” London Evening Standard), and Nik Coppin (‘One of the brightest stars to hit the comedy scene this year" Living Abroad Magazine), amongst other guests during the shows run.

Why pay over-the-odds to see great Fringe Comedy this year when you can see it for Free?

Show line-ups are below - They may change - see posters at venues each day for last minute changes and additional acts. Being the Fringe we will be booking a lot of the act during the month, and several big name acts and other acts will be fitted in around other commitments usually at the last minute.
