💨 Abstract

Character comedy is booming at the Edinburgh Fringe, offering a refreshing alternative to traditional stand-up. New talents like Lorna Rose Treen and Rory Marshall are gaining traction with their unique, inventive characters. Character comedy is seen as riskier and less formulaic, providing comedians more creative freedom. The genre seeks to captivate audiences with its originality and boldness, easing the pressure on comedians to adhere to traditional stand-up formats.
