NextUp have had their biggest year yet at The Edinburgh Festival this summer. The team filmed multiple specials per day totalling 14 new specials to hit the platform this autumn.
Kenny Cavey, founder and Head of Production said “The standard was insanely high this year and we’re really pleased with the fantastic acts we captured, giving our members a real feel of the fringe. NextUp is all about discovering incredible acts you may not have heard of before and this latest tranche won’t disappoint - there’s something for every taste.”
The service champions the most exciting names in stand-up comedy and discovering, filming and showcasing their work (particularly at Edinburgh) is at the very heart of what they do. The shows they filmed this year reflect the true breadth and depth of the live comedy circuit and showcasing rising stars against already big name acts.
This year NextUp filmed 14 shows including:
Zoe Lyons - Entry Level Human Esther Manito - Crusade Ashley Storrie - Hysterical Juliette Burton - DeFined
Bec Hill (pictured) - I’ll Be Bec
Robin Morgan - What a Man, What a Man, What a Man, What a Mighty Good Man (Say it Again Now) Edd Hedges - Shut it Down Carol
Daniel Wye - Seayonce Deja Voodoo
Anesti Danelis - Six Frets Under
Aaron Simmonds - Disabled Coconut
