Stick this in your ears and hear it. I’ve gathered up some scrag ends and popped them on Spotify. A hearty helping of audio offcuts. A little fatty round the edges, but all the more flavoursome for it. It’s nose to tail sketch comedy. Recorded on the voice notes app and edited on software I don’t own. Music by @petercatrecordingco inevitably. Link exactly where you’d expect it to be. *Second pic not relevant.

Hot Concrete have been Too Hot (and Too Concretey) for TV for the last time. Our half run at the Edinburgh Fringe is over. Thank you to everyone who came and supported what is — to be fair — a pretty weird show. We set out to make something ‘wonderfully strange’, and we’re proud to have achieved that. There are many others we could thank. The good folks at Gilded Balloon. The three musk-tech-eers (Simon, Marvin, and Dylan). The drunk men who threw cash at us in the middle of a performance. Mosque Kitchen. Thanks to everyone who made our Fringe. Now the suits go for a deep clean, the chair goes into an incinerator, and Timmy 1+2 go back to school. Who knows what’s next for the boys? Stay Hot. Stay Concretey.

Grab your tickets to the hottest faux-live-tv-recording-alt-comedy-cabaret in town! We’ll be joined by our favourite oddities on the comedy circuit, for one glorious evening. Featuring: 📖 Han Whyte as Roger Prick 💪 Sophie Koko 💃🏻 Maya Ricote 👓 Al Nash Plus live screenings, prizes, and a mystery guest! Grab your tickets while they’re hot! 📍 The Rosemary Branch Theatre 🗓️ 8pm, Tuesday 8th July 🎟️ Link in bio

A massive thank you to anyone who attended Hot Concrete: Too Hot (and Too Concretey) for TV in Edinburgh. The show will return bigger and better. As will the chair.

A collection of nice words from The Scottish Daily Express. Only two more days to join the live studio audience and seal our fate as a ‘sleeper hit’. 12.50 at The Mash House.

🚨AUDIENCE REVIEWS ARE IN 🚨 We’ve had some amazing audiences who’ve said some lovely things and a woman called Diane who wasn’t a fan. Can’t please everyone, I guess. If you’ve enjoyed the show please leave us an audience review. It’s our fuel, our petrol (or diesel) (or the sun).
