EdFringe Preview: Join two rapidly rising stars of comedy for a shared work in progress show, from talent heading to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the largest international arts festival.
Chantel Nash started performing stand-up comedy half way through 2022 and her effortless charm is winning over audiences one postcode at a time. She has won regional heats and reached the finals of both the So You Think You’re Funny and BBC New Act competitions last year.
Chantel has featured on Comedy Central Live and Mo Gilligan’s Spotlight on Audible, as well as her own podcast ‘Making Friends with Chantel Nash’ where she is on the hunt for the creme de la creme of friends. She's thinking big, she's thinking aspirational, she's mostly thinking Michelle Obama but she'll take whoever she can get.
Jen Nolan is an up and coming working class comic hailing from east London. Jen, ‘confident and energetic with big laughs’ (Broadway World), will be bringing you tales from her life growing up on the breadline with that cheeky cockney attitude.
She was part of Edinburgh Fringe’s ‘Best In Class’ run in 2023, and has since reached the semi finals of Leicester Square Theatre New Comedian of the year, and LGBTQ+ New Comedian of the year. Now, fresh from being hand-picked to perform in the highly acclaimed Pleasance Comedy Reserve show at Edinburgh Fringe 2025, Jen is working on her first solo show.
