Alex Prescot improvises songs

At Chortle's Fast Fringe

Alex Prescot improvises some short songs based around audience members at Chortle’s Fast Fringe in this new clip.

The comic also admits that playing the ukulele is ‘a bit of a red flag’ before sharing the advice his mum gave to him about embarking on a career in the arts.

Prescot’s 2025 Edinburgh Fringe show, Cosy, is on at Underbelly Bristo Square at 11.45am. And Chortle’s Fast Fringe is on at 6.30pm daily at Pleasance Dome.
