Guess what. No, guess. GUESS. Seriously, just guess.
I’m bringing my new show to Edinburgh with @gildedballoon and tickets are now on sale!
5-31 August, 4pm, at the Patter House.
“What kind of person leaves an online review for a toilet brush? What happens when you bomb a job interview at Vogue Magazine? Can you post a thirst trap on Goodreads.com? American comedian Candace Bryan answers some of the most important questions of our time in this uproarious, joke-packed hour about trying not to become a shopaholic in a world where the mall is literally in your pocket.”
‘Sharp wit and expertly crafted stand-up... an extraordinary talent’ **** (Edinburgh-Reviews.co.uk).

Well well well. Here we are again. Me posting about an upcoming show, you reading the caption with bated breath, hoping with every fiber of your being that this caption is worth reading. “Of all the captions, in all the towns, in all the world, she walks into mine...” I am performing ONE LAST SHOW IN LONDON (probably) before I head to Edinburgh Fringe this summer. It’s an hour of standup comedy poking fun at our hyper-consumerist late capitalist society. I’ll be talking about Shrek, Goodreads, Jeff Bezos, toilet brushes, The Devil Wears Prada 2, Karl Marx, and the Bible. It’s on a Saturday afternoon, so afterwards we can drink and discuss Marxist theory on the dance floor. Tickets are £5 and the link is exactly where you expect it to be.
Thanks to everyone who came out to Saturdays show, especially the woman who taught me about “replacement Barbie hands.” Next show is Wednesday, May 13 @ 20:15 @carolineofbrunswick see you there!!!!
I am STOKED to bring my new standup hour to @carolineofbrunswick next saturday as part of @brightonfringe 🤠 And it’s FREE! FREE i tell ya. Swing on through
#MyFirstComedyGig 🤠 It’s Live Comedy Day in the UK and comedians are sharing photos of their first gigs. I’m one-upping them all with a VIDEO.
Before coming to London, I lived in LA. In 2019, I took a comedy course there and performed my first “gig” as part of the showcase. The night was horrendous (I was so nervous I forgot my jokes multiple times), COVID came through shortly after, and I didn’t do comedy again until 2022 after I moved to London! Sharing this clip because it’s so cringe lol, but the joke here evolved in my mind over the years, and a version of it was in my Edinburgh debut last year: “I recently learned anxiety can cause infertility. Which is great for me, because I don’t want kids and I’m very stressed out that I’m not using condoms.”
Couldn’t have learned and evolved (and doubled down on this mid joke) without audiences coming out to live shows 🙏
This show used to have a bit in it about how stressful I find buying lampshades. But no one seemed to relate to that??? So I took it out. Only the best, most relatable jokes in the new show. It’s what the fans deserve. I’m bringing my shiny new gags to Brighton for a couple of nights in May. For free! If you comment ‘💡’ I’ll DM you my thoughts on lampshades. Otherwise, I’ll see you at @brightonfringe !
