Ed Night: Hour Long Clip

Underrated stand up and asthmatic wretch Ed Night has been hearing a lot about how you need to be uploading stand up online recently. Well, here it is: the spectre at the feast bursts onto the big screen with a no-holds-barred hour of wailing and moaning in his debut special. Prepare to have your ribs tickled to the max by a deluge of comedy material about all sorts of different topics and subjects. In this must-see 49 minute long hour the two-time Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee (it’s not a science) muses on submarine malfunctions, meditates on having his pets destroyed by the government, and artfully navigates the thorny issue of self-checkout machines with heart as well as humour. Of course it isn’t perfect, but what is?

I KNOW THE SCORE

I KNOW THE SCORE investigates, within the central idea that reality is not entirely entropic and is somehow following a perceivable score, ways in which a person could experience alternate realities with different scores. The first section, GAS & AIR, explores inhalants as a means to perceive and experience altered reality scores. The second section, PARANOILIA, explores the paraphernalia used and created by those who may internally experience an altered reality score, the objects made and utilised by paranoid or psychoaffective individuals that represent or channel a different perceived reality. The third and final section, EXOCONSCIOUSNESS, explores spirituality as a vehicle to altered realities. In it, a god-like figure watches over the movements of people, having been given secret knowledge by the girl from the website in OPERANDI, who becomes ‘real’ after its user gets sufficiently high.
