Come and play a game of comedian roulette! The Fringe Comedy Gala showcases an assortment of five comedians and part of the excitement is the surprise! Who are you seeing? The lineup may include comics like a Scotsman and an Englishman... or it may not! Enjoy a variety of humorous humans, with amusing personal stories and impressions.

Like many comedy shows, if you sit anywhere in or near the front few rows, expect to be commented on and asked questions! But it's all part of the fun. You might also get to learn a lot of intimate details about your MC, comedians, and fellow audience members. Maybe too much!?

Universal Bar's Rooftop Terrace is a cosy venue. It even has a few couches chucked in to make you feel relaxed and at home enough to share things about yourself you usually wouldn't. The fact that it's in a bar probably helps!

A bit of the comic material could be seen as a bit more controversial and ultimately, you can't be sure if some jokes were hilarious or inappropriate. So there may be moments where you wince or feel relieved that a mask can cover a significant part of your facial reaction!

Either way -- be entertained, educated, and at times mildly uncomfortable -- all within less than an hour! See a summary of Fringe WORLD funniness! Take the gamble.
