Matt Hobs

This is a stand-up comedy show about how the worlds of humans and badgers collide. Matt takes us on his journey from a passing interest in badgers to an obsession that led to him standing in a field looking at a caged, frightened badger caught up in the controversy of the bovine TB debate. In a unique mash up, Matt will perform his critically acclaimed sell-out 2025 and 2026 Edinburgh Fringe show 100% Badgers and then share what is it like become one of the country's premier badger comedians. We'll take a trip into the bizarre and hilarious world of the badger sett, following the tunnels and seeing where we end up.
