you Hi everyone, welcome to this, the first of two very special episodes of No Such Thing As A Fish.
Now,
anyone who's into comedy will know that the Edinburgh Fringe Festival has just begun up in Scotland.
And we are not going there this year,
but what we thought we would do is highlight some of our very favourite comedians who will be up there.
So if you're travelling up to Edinburgh,
you can listen to this and decide who you like and who you want to get tickets for.
Very, very favourite comedians out on the circuit right now.
We handpicked ones who we think you will especially like.
Fact number one will be Ian Smith.
He was nominated in 2023 for Best Show at Edinburgh for his show Crushing.
And he is the co-host of the Northern News podcast with Amy Gledhill.
It's an absolutely brilliant podcast.
If you're not going up to Edinburgh, then definitely check that out and find out more about him.
After Ian, you will hear from Abby Howells.
Now, Abby is a New Zealand comic.
You will know her from New Zealand Taskmaster and from Guy Montgomery's Guymont Spelling Bee.
I know a lot of people in the UK dig around the internet to find episodes of those,
and Abby is a particular favourite of anyone who likes New Zealand comedy.
She will be up in Edinburgh this year, so definitely check out her show.
