Will Mars

Will Mars began his comedy career in 2009 and gained recognition for creating and producing Joke Thieves, a format he has presented at the Edinburgh Fringe since 2013. He has also worked in the US, appearing on Showtime at the Apollo and NBC's Trial by Laughter. In 2021, he received the Malcolm Hardee Cunning Stunt Award for launching the '(Some guy called) Dave Joke of the Fringe' in parody of the broadcaster Dave's backing of a similar contest. It was the only award handed out in that festival, much depleted by Covid.

Too soon? First Edinburgh Fringe 2025 tickets go on sale

Comic Will Mars gets in early with the return of his Joke Thieves format

comedyLike Christmas, it seems like preparation for Edinburgh Fringe gets earlier each year.

And comic Will Mars has accelerated that process even more this time around – by announcing the first show of 2025 to go on sale.

He is bringing his Joke Thieves format back to the festival for a ninth run next year, with a new batch of stand-ups performing each-other’s material.

It will be on at the Three Sisters as part of the Laughing Horse Free Festival for a full run from July 31 to August 24. And while it works on a ‘pay what you can’ basis, advance tickets are already available here from between £5 to £12.50 to secure a place in advance. 

Mars – who hosts the show with beatbox champion Bass6 – told Chortle: ‘Joke Thieves is the show where comedians do their own jokes and then each others, so it's basically half a show for the price of a show.  And I guess half a show is quicker to get on sale.’

And if you can’t make Edinburgh, all the shows will be recorded for release on YouTube later.
