Underbelly Bristo Square

An excelent 30 minute comedy routine by Aaron Simmonds - from thee fringe website - Join the BBC New Comedy Award finalist and wheelchair enthusiast as he tells you about how his first paid gig led to him performing on BBC2 a year later, and what happens when you are being trolled online for not being disabled enough. Aaron is far better at stand-up than standing up and his unique perspective on life – usually of people's belly buttons – gives him a distinctive edge in his performances as well as a sore neck. Jewish Comedian of the Year 2017. 'A class act' (Chortle.co.uk). An easily accessible venue with great staff and a lift to the performance level. Could only have been better if the venue was larger so more people could see this act.

Absolutely cracking show -I was in tears of laughter and would heartily recommend people go see it. McEwan hall is a stunning piece of architecture and I was incredibly impressed with how accessible it was. Show was interactive and had a BSL interpreter on stage who was fantastic. Staff were really friendly and thoughtful, they walked me through how I would get into the building without steps, let me get in first to ensure I got seats that didn't require me to use stairs and gave me a chair at every wait point so that I never had to stand. The venue outside was just as beautiful and they had lots of different food and drink stalls for the festival. Lots of comedians and performers were wandering around outside engaging with the public and I can't wait to go back again next year!

A stunning venue for the Fringe Festival, clever ways to make the venue accessible even though it is a listed building. The staff were sympathetic to everyone’s needs, bringing a chair outside for someone with a walking stick waiting in line to allowing a man with Downs Syndrome pop in to use the loo. All hail Underbelly!
