Deage Paxton: Dead Man's Hand

Deage Paxton: Dead Man's Hand

Show type: Edinburgh Fringe 2026

A choose your own adventure stand-up show. No setlist. No safety net. In 1876, Wild Bill Hickok was gunned down holding the winning hand: Aces and Eights. After 15 years headlining The Stand and supporting Tom Stade, Carl Hutchinson, and Ria Lina, Paxton puts his winning hand on the table. From 'brazen and brilliant' (One4Review.co.uk) bankers to 'pitch black' (X.com/EdinburghEye) filth, the audience controls the axis. No narrative fluff – just 100 jokes and total audience control. No two shows are the same. You curate the chaos.
