Blizzard Comedy presents: WIP shows by Balthazar Dark and Thom Bee
  • UK Regional & Tours

The second in our Edinburgh Fringe preview series, we are returning to our home stage of Gullivers with two more long-awaited work-in-progress shows. Catch us in the Northern Quarter on Thursday 7th July for:

Wrestling With Saddos - Balthazar Dark
Balthazar Dark is the greatest wrestler youve never heard of. Too dangerous to perform in the UK he whiles away his time exposing the seedy underbelly of pro wrestling to comedy audiences. Join him for an hour of career highlights and even more lowlights.

Psychocinematic - Thom Bee
Psychocinematic is a thinly veiled attempt for Thom Bee to come to terms with his own volatile mental health. It takes stand-up, smushes it together with Thom's lifelong obsession with film, and yields results that will make you howl with laughter, fondly remember and cringe at the 00s, and slightly worry about Thom's well-being. This show tiptoes into Thoms psyche to discuss our predilection for turning to the comfort of the silver screen when our brains melt, only to find more peril - like Indiana Jones running from a boulder of his own projections.

Psychocinematic promises to be an uplifting exploration into why gnarly horror films will lift your mood, as well as openly tackling a borderline personality disorder diagnosis and a brief stay in a mental health ward. This show is a must-see for anyone who gets way too into movies and reads into their own mental health, which is all of us...right?

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.

Theatre MAD
The Make A Difference Trust fights HIV & AIDS one stage at a time. Their UK and International grant-making strategy is based on five criteria that raise awareness, educate, and provide care and support for the most vulnerable in society. A host of fundraising events, including Bucket Collections, Late Night Cabarets, West End Eurovision, West End Bares and A West End Christmas continue to raise funds for projects both in the UK and Sub-Saharan Africa.
