The Comedy Zone is a tradition of the Edinburgh Fringe where up and coming comedians have a vehicle to showcase their comic talents on a late night comedy club style Edinburgh audience.

The line-up consisted of compere Mark Oliver, the manic working class Russell Kane, the rather more reserved Matt Green and the somewhat surreal songs and comedy of Isy Suttie.

Okay I will be the first to admit that it wasn’t the easiest of audiences but Mark struggled to keep control, and because of this the others also had a few problems too.

Russell had a frenetic set that had genuinely funny original material and certainly will be a big name soon, Matt Green also did well with his set, but a bit like Mark, Isy suffered a little.
