JOHN KEARNS
One of our all time favourites. Multi-award winning surrealist who combines absurdism and bare humanity to beautiful effect. John made history as the first person to win the Edinburgh comedy Award best newcomer and best show awards in successive years. He returned to Edinburgh in 2017 with yet another incredible show, reaffirming his status as the king of absurd comedy.
