Welcome the wonderful : ALEX KITSON
THIS IS WATER
Two young fish are swimming along. An older fish swims by and says, "Morning,
boys! How's the water?" The two young fish look at each other, and keep
swimming. After a while, one says to the other, "What the hell is water?"
The ISH Edinburgh Comedy Awards Newcomer Nominee follows up last year's
multi-award-nominated, five-star cult hit with a new hour of fast paced,
critically-acclaimed stand-up. Let's work out what we're all swimming in.

Support comes from:
Cristina Varga: A Romanian theatre maker, performance artist and comedian based in Plymouth, UK. She pursued a master's degree in Performance Training at Plymouth University, during which she began experimenting with interdisciplinary art that blends physical theatre and new media art often featuring nature as a visual element. Through her work, Cristina wants to forge a connection with the audience by intertwining autobiographical narratives with mixed media art, music and physical theatre.
Recently, she discovered a passion for stand-up comedy and has been performing in Devon and Cornwall, where she is gaining a following in the local comedy scene.
Praise for her latest show Close Enough -
Close Enough is more than just a comedy; it's a celebration of resilience, adaptation, and the search for belonging -One Plymouth
Close Enough powerfully and lovingly points out the idiosyncrasies of the British way of life, the language and the social tics. But it also poignantly teases out Cristina's own experience, one that has seen her at times lost and confused both at her situation and at her own reaction to it. Cristina combines bravado and gusto with a keen ear, an eye for detail, a nose for a punchline and a mind that goes on questioning - PRSC
