Chuckle Busters presents six weeks of Edinburgh previews at The Wardrobe Theatre

By Sarski Anderson  Friday Jun 13, 2025

Bristol comedy promotors Chuckle Busters have announced a wide-ranging programme of Edinburgh previews at The Wardrobe Theatre, beginning on June 15.

Each of the nights will be a double bill of comics presenting their latest solo hours, only weeks before they will be taking them up to the Fringe – the biggest arts festival in the world.

For local comedy fans, the early summer months are increasingly the time to see a host of acts performing early-stage work which, when fully realised, may go on to define them.
