Mock the Clock

Show type: Edinburgh Fringe 2026

Stand-up comics hit the stage with their best material before throwing caution aside for fast-paced, chaotic improvisation. Expect quick wit, big laughs and unpredictable moments as performers tackle audience suggestions and off-the-cuff challenges. The show builds to the iconic Scenes We’d Like to See finale, where comedians fire out punchlines in a rapid one-liner showdown inspired by a classic TV format. With a rotating line-up of talented acts, no two nights are ever the same. Smart, silly and brilliantly unfiltered, this is a high-energy comedy showcase that keeps the laughs coming from start to finish.
