Alex Edelman on Koko the gorilla

At Chortle's Fast Fringe

Alex Edelman talks about Koko, the gorilla who learned sign language, in his appearance at Chortle's Fast Fringe in London last month.

The primate, who died in June, became friends with Robin Williams, and even mounred his death.

The story is a preamble to Edelman’s Edinburgh Fringe show Just For Us, which is primarily about the time he attended a Nazi meeting, despite being Jewish.

You can watch extracts from a dozen comedy and variety shows every day at our Fast Fringe showcase in Edinburgh. It's on at 18:40 daily in Pleasance Dome. Tickets.
