Stand-up show 'Catamaran' by Milo Edwards, about the letters his parents wrote to each other in the 1980s, on his UK tour.
Milo Edwards brings his stand-up show Catamaran to Exeter Phoenix on Sunday 8 November, as part of his UK tour. It's a solo hour that starts with a box of old letters he found in the back of his late mother's wardrobe in 2025. The letters were written by his parents to each other back in the 1980s, and the show works through them one by one.
There's a bit of a double edge to it: on one hand, it's about what remains of a human life when the person is gone; on the other, it's about what happens when that life turns out to have been surprisingly horny. The letters give him a direct line back to his parents as they were in their thirties, and the comedy comes from the gap between the parents he knew and the people who wrote those letters.
Edwards is a regular at the Edinburgh Fringe, and Catamaran is scheduled for a full Fringe run in August, so this is one of the dates it's playing across the UK before that. He tours internationally too, with shows in Ireland, Canada, America and Asia. Chortle has called him 'one of the UK's smartest, most vital stand-ups', and Wee Review described his work as 'near perfect'.
