Ben's Book Club

Ben's Book Club

Show type: Edinburgh Fringe 2026

Calling all bibliophiles! Ben Pope (‘utter delight’ Fest) is a bookseller and a comedian. This is his book club! Here’s how it works: Ben picks a book. You read it* and so do his two hilarious comedian guests. Then: discuss. Three different books in three days! All of the joy of a good book club with none of the blah-blah-blah. ‘Beautifully constructed’ **** (Scotsman). ‘Pope is superb company’ **** (Evening Standard). *You don’t have to read it to enjoy the show! But it will help!
