In the shaded outdoor area of Gluttony’s Piglet, grab a seat or bring your picnic blanket to enjoy this delightful afternoon where you can be sure the comics will be raisin’ the roof (of the tent) and leaving you wonton more - for five dates only!

An Edinburgh Fringe institution.... from many years ago.
