Before they traipse up to this year’s Edinburgh Fringe Festival, come and see TWO SHOWS for the price of something that costs £5 (Mid/top-range shampoo? Posh sausages? A beige vest?). PAMELA DEMENTHE and BEACH HUNKS, alternative Mancunian character and sketch comics, are previewing their hour-long shows. Please help these nice people by not laughing at the bits they should cut before reviewers arrive, and laughing LOADS at the bits that are 100% DYNAMITE.

BEACH HUNKS
Stronger. Stranger. Hunkier. Sopping-wet sketch boys Beach Hunks are heading back to Edinburgh with a new hour of destructively offbeat comedy, HOG WILD. Absurdity, misery and beachwear collide in a show populated with broken characters and frothing with big dumb fun. Join them. Hoot. Holler. Go wild. ‘Bold and unusual’ (****, Top Ten Fringe Festival Shows 2016—West End Wilma). ‘Hidden gem of #edfringe2016. Hilarious. Make a point to see them.’ (Aatif Nawaz).

PAMELA DEMENTHE PRESENTS:
STICKY DIGITS
Ever wanted to know how to break into the world of erotic fiction? Manchesters best self-published erotic authoress, Pamela DeMenthe, is throbbing her way to Edinburgh to present her hotly anticipated novel Sticky Digits. There won’t be dry seat in the house! Expect: secretions, smut and power point. Fifty Shades of Grey meets Alan Partridge. ‘Brilliant’ (Big Issue North). ‘Funny and surreal’ (BBC Writersroom). ‘Very funny’ (BritishTheatreGuide)
