Ally Houston, Paul McDaniel and Sandy Bouttell. Three comedi-men who, when God was issuing the comedy rule book, were outside having a pint and smashing down boundaries with humour hammers. For nine evenings only, they come together at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe to present to you their Afterbirth. Please prepare your jolly little selves to be blown wide open. Ally Houston @allyhouston, Intriguing material (Steve Bennett, Chortle.co.uk). Sandy Bouttell @boozehell, Deadpanned his way to success... Sensational (Scotsman) and Paul McDaniel, Incredibly talented (Daftynews.com).
