Nick Helm’s Xmas F*ck Fest 5: Pleasance Theatre, Islington, London, 2019
Edward Aczel is a project manager by day and a stand-up comedian in the evenings. He appeared as a guest at Nick Helm’s Christmas show in December 2019. Aczel’s act deconstructed three jokes explaining in detail to the audience who got increasingly restless and he murmured on about obscure historical facts and meanings. Once the audience were in on the joke, the brave act worked and Aczel was very funny.
