Jamie Laing and Francis Boulle join Underbelly line-up

Made in Chelsea stars Jamie Laing and Francis Boulle are to perform a comedy show at this year’s Edinburgh Fringe.

The pair are staging a live version of their podcast  Private Parts at the Underbelly, ahead of a UK tour in the autumn.

It promises ‘intimate and sordid details of their private lives, including gossip from both on and off the screen’.

The show is one of a new batch announced by the venue today, ahead of the last major batch of shows going on sale across the festival on Thursday.

Also in Underbelly’s roster is a site-specific from Adam Riches, featuring a dubious character described as ‘sensitive as soap and twice as slippery’.

Underbelly also has theatrical spoof Garry Starr Performs Everything, which had an acclaimed run at the Australian festivals earlier this year (Read Chortle’s review here); author Kathy Lette’s stage show Girl’s Talk, promising ‘tales of love, lust, men, marriage, pregnancy, childbirth, mastitis, sexist bosses, teenage-daughter-wrangling, ageing, toy boys, and Close Encounters of the George Clooney Kind’; and a new musical, Where Does The Love Go?, from    Norwegian-American comedy duo Zach and Viggo and Los Angeles funk band Thumpasaurus.

Meanwhile, Su Pollard also makes her theatre debut at the Edinburgh Fringe with Harpy, a new play from Fringe First-winner Philip Meeks  about a hoarder, also at Underbelly.
