Eddy Brimson is Free...(but there might be a whip-round) August 25, 2007

Established comedian and best-selling author Eddy Brimson, presents his first pure stand-up show at the Free Festival.
In this hour-long show, Eddy examines how we are all free to make choices in life, one of the biggest being whether or not to have kids. Is it to be the Early Learning Centre or the Flight Centre?...Oh the joys of being child free!

Fiercely intelligent but with cheeky charm, Eddy will be exposing the ludicrousness of real-life situations; addressing pertinent issues affecting today's society such as personal freedom, political correctness gone mad and taking responsibility for our own actions.

This will be Eddy's second solo show at The Edinburgh Festival Fringe, following his debut 'Up the Anti' in 2005, a true story inspired by the raiding of his house by MI5.

EDDY BRIMSON IS FREE...AND A BIG BELIEVER IN THE TRUE SPIRIT OF THE FREE FESTIVAL

...that's why this year he's chosen to return to the festival's roots and bring his show to Edinburgh as part of the Free Festival.

"I feel the Festival has lost its way over the years. Performers shouldn't have to pay thousands of pounds to perform or be creative. This just forces ticket prices up and makes it hard for the public to take a risk on seeing someone or something new. The Free Festival is taking us back to the true spirit of what Edinburgh should be"

Remarkably for such an established performer, there will be no charge to see Eddy's show. It is a choice he is happy to make as it not only allows Eddy to support the Free Festival but also to reach as many people as possible without them having to break the bank.
