REVIEW: An Englishman, An Irishman and A Scotsman | Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2024

"Non-stop, laugh-a-minute frenzy with banging tunes and great craic!"

Kicking off the show is compere and the Englishman of the comical trio, Rick Molland. A natural and affable piss-taker, he is a master at audience interaction. A cheeky mischief-maker that had the crowd gasp, choke, and chuckle.


Bringing the Irish contingency is Danny O’Brien. An animated storyteller with awesome comedic timing and anecdotes aplenty, Danny had the audience guffaw with glee. A high-octane performance from Killa-Dan-Jaro!


And rounding off the show is the riot himself, Billy Kirkwood. Riddled with the “proper” ADHD and representing Scotland, Billy brought the silly. Fast and wild, he’s an expert in chaotic comedy. He’s frantic, he’s infectious, and he had the audience in fits of giggles.


An Englishman, an Irishman and a Scotsman is a non-stop, laugh-a-minute frenzy with banging tunes and great craic! It’s no wonder this show was a complete sell-out last year at both Edinburgh Festival Fringe and Glasgow Comedy Festival.


The guys are performing their own shows at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe as well:


Rick Molland: Scotland’s Pick of the Fringe: Prime Time

Danny O’Brien: Killa-Dan-Jaro

Billy Kirkwood: Wild Thing

EDINBURGH FESTIVAL FRINGE

For three weeks in August, the city of Edinburgh welcomes an explosion of creative energy from around the globe. Artists and performers take to hundreds of stages all over the city, presenting shows for every taste. Venues can be anywhere, from existing theatres and concert halls to repurposed spaces like bars, parks, buses and shipping containers. The Fringe street events bring colour, excitement and vibrancy to outdoor areas, free of charge.


From big names in the world of entertainment to unknown artists looking to build their careers, the festival spans every genre of live performance, including theatre, comedy, dance, physical theatre, circus, cabaret, children's shows, musicals, opera, music, spoken word, exhibitions and events.


The Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society, a registered charity, is the company that organises the structure that underpins the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The level of commitment required for such an undertaking would not be possible if it weren’t for the enthusiasm of the people of Edinburgh, combined with the longstanding support of our audiences, sponsors, supporters and the goodwill of the Fringe Friends and Angels.


The Fringe Society strives to provide support that exceeds participant and public expectations, and we ask you to join us in supporting this challenge. Every penny you give makes a difference, helping us to develop the services we provide for performers and audience.


There are a number of ways of supporting the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society, from one-off donations to becoming a Fringe Friend.
