Six Scottish comedy acts each challenged to eat sauce-covered nuggets while performing stand-up at Wings Edinburgh.
The Hot Mic is at Wings Edinburgh on Thursday 22 October, with the show starting at 21:00. It's a night of live stand-up comedy, and the format is a bit different from your usual line-up.
Six Scottish comedy acts take the stage, and each one is given the same challenge: they have to eat sauce-covered nuggets while they perform. It's a simple enough premise, but it changes the whole dynamic of a set. Instead of just standing there and delivering lines, they're working around a plate of food, and the sauce is there to make it a bit more precarious. It's as much about watching them handle the nuggets as it is about the comedy itself.
Because it's six acts in one night, you'll get a good range of styles rather than just one person carrying the whole evening. Each comic gets their own slot, so you'll see six different approaches to the same challenge, and the Scottish line-up keeps it all within the same comedy tradition. It's a night that works as well if you're just in it for the laughs as if you're there to see how the nuggets hold up under pressure.
