Comedy review: The LOL Word, Gilded Balloon, Edinburgh
LOL Word is a mixed bill night of queer comedy (no cis men allowed on the bill).
The LOL Word, Gilded Balloon, Edinburgh * * *
MC is Jodie Mitchell who is funny, warm and very watcheable. Her material is solid – she has the best hummus based material you will hear – and she knows how to get offstage and let the acts on.
Chloe Petts is no stranger to the clutch bag, but is constantly mistaken for a man and finds a surprising amount of funny there. Chelsea Birkby talks clubbing, The British Kiss and being bi-polar but should really think twice about nicking a joke from Jimmy Carr, Layla Nevabi talks about her mixed race heritage and mooncups and makes up a trio of watcheable, personal, comics.
Until 25 August
