Fiona Allen on Stacey Dooley and arrogant cyclists

From Chortle's Fast Fringe

Smack The Pony star Fiona Allen has been making a return to stand-up – including a run at the Edinburgh Fringe next week.

In this  extract from her show On The Run, she mocks Stacey Dooley’s documentaries, the ubiquitous spread of the creaky, throaty accent known as vocal fry,  and shares her disdain for arrogant cyclists who think they own the road.

Allen will be at Pleasance Courtyard at 4:15pm from August 2 to 20.

And Chortle will be presenting Fast Fringe at Pleasance Dome at 7pm, featuring 12 top comedy and variety acts plus a top compere – and with a different line-up each day. Tickets.

Filming is by NextUp which will be livestreaming more than 40 shows this Fringe. Sign up here.
