The Old Rep presents a programme of Edinburgh comedy previews, including this amazing DOUBLE BILL with Ahir Shah and Alex Smith.

 

Ahir Shah 'Distant'

Thoughtful wastrel Ahir Shah does another funny and good stand-up comedy show. It's about cigarettes, vegetarianism, extremism, disengagement, depression, environmentalism, walking, and pirates. Shah's incisive brand of stand-up combines lyrical language, emotional frankness, and sweet gags. This erudite, philosophical style has seen him perform across the UK and abroad, earning consistent acclaim and an inconsistent income.

'A sophisticated comedian with an elegant, eloquent style that probes beyond the superficial' **** (Chortle.co.uk).

'Charismatic and of rewardingly cerebral approach' (Guardian).

'He is made for stand-up' (List).

 

Alex Smith 'The Art of Grooming'

Have you ever felt that perhaps you have too much money? That the money you have set aside for a house, a car or that kidney transplant a doctor has told you that you critically need, could be put to better use? Perhaps it could be better spent making someone else's hand worth more than most people's car? Well then perhaps you, like Alex, have recently decided to get engaged. Stand-up, Huffington Post columnist and You and Your Wedding magazine's resident groom Alex Smith takes you on his wedding journey.
