Event Duration: 60 minutes

It's big, it's clever, it's UK comedian Alexis Dubus' hit Edinburgh Fringe show.

Of all the shows containing swearing, only one goes into detail about our wonderful 4-letter friends, which still have the power to shock, offend and amuse in equal measure.

Alexis uncovers the science of swearing, the ancestry of your favourite swears, and why the f*ck we do it in the first place.

Packed with facts, fables, funnies and other words beginning with F, you're guaranteed a bl**dy good time.

" ***** What a show! Stimulating, educational and informative… I implore you, pop along and experience something brilliantly fascinating." Three Weeks

" **** As informative as it is funny. We crash through a huge amount of gags and information, and the hour whips by. If you don’t enjoy this show you’re a f*cking c*cks*cker." Steve Bennett, chortle.co.uk

“Seamless... A Stephen Fry of filth.”  Bruce Dessau, Evening Standard
