About the show
The BEST Comedians attempt their WORST ideas.
The creative process is a graveyard of defeated ideas. But has anything so irredeemably failed that it can never see the light of day again?
At Bin Fire, the best comedians in the circuit charge their defibrillators and attempt to valiantly resuscitate their most glorious downfalls. No idea is too ill conceived to be consigned forever to the notepad mausoleum.
But will they succeed? This is a comedy show where everything can go wrong and, in that, a celebration of what comedy (and life) should be.
Hosted by Richard Stott and Jacob Hatton. (2019 Dave Top 10 Jokes of the Fringe, 2022 Times Top 10 Jokes of the Fringe, 2023 Guardian Top 10 Jokes of the Fringe, The Daily Telegraph Top Jokes of the Fringe 2023. As heard on BBC Radio 4, TalkSport and the Stand-Up Sketch Show, ITV2).
