Lolly Adefope was already on my list of people to tip for Edinburgh, honest, and then last night she made it through to the final of the inaugural Magners Comedy Act 2015. A the final Adefope will be doing a short set but in Edinburgh she will be doing a full hour for the first time. I’ve only seen her do short sets so far but I’ve been mightily impressed by her comic instincts. Her dim office worker Gemma having a bash at stand-up was so convincing I briefly wondered whether it was a fictional character or whether Adefope really was a dim office worker having a bash at stand-up. I've not seen her other characters yet but if word-of-mouth recommendations are any guide I've already heard enough to sense that Lolly has got Edinburgh licked. 

Lolly Adefope is at The Pleasance, N1, tonight, tickets here, and at The Pleasance Edinburgh from Aug 5 - 30, tickets here.
