Stand-up Philosophy

Stand-up Philosophy

Show type: Edinburgh Fringe 2026

A unique show where the UK's most thoughtful and funny stand-up comedians perform sets on philosophical themes or with philosophical questions. 'An ingenious concept' (BingeFringe.com). Hosted by former philosophy teacher Alex Farrow, 'An intelligent new star' (Comedy.co.uk). As philosopher Montaigne said, 'our life consists partly in madness, partly in wisdom, whoever writes about it merely respectfully, and by rule, leaves more than half of it'. An ethos this show takes to heart as each show the host and two stand-ups explore a chosen philosophical theme through comedy and profound Q&A.
