‘Carmen is one of my absolute favorite comics. Watching her on stage would cheer up anyone with a pulse.’
Amy Schumer
“I don’t think I’m going to live a long life because I’ve never seen any really tall old ladies.”
In her UK debut hour LYNCHED, Carmen Lynch (The Late Show with David Letterman, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert) shares her twisted, singular stand-up comedy that frequently dips into the dark side. Childless and drug-free (but only because of her heart murmur), she'll share her views on Jesus, giraffes, scoliosis, her Spanish mother, and very often, death.
‘Her first album is punchy and quick, shifting with alacrity from bits about family to dating. Her attitude is wry self-deprecation laced with hints of melancholy.’ The New York Times’ 5 Stand-Up Specials to Stream This Week
Carmen Lynch comes to the Edinburgh Fringe after enjoying a host of high profile television appearances. As well as The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and twice on The Late Show with David Letterman, she has been featured on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, Conan, @midnight (Comedy Central), Inside Amy Schumer, and The Good Wife.
On the big screen Carmen appeared in Miu Miu’s series of Women’s Tales directed by Chloe Sevigny entitled Carmen, now available on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=mG9kMqSUhHg.
Carmen has performed for US troops in Iraq and Kuwait, and continues to tour in Spanish-speaking countries doing standup in Spanish. When she isn't on the road, Carmen can usually be found at The Comedy Cellar in NYC. Her comedy album Dance Like You Don't Need the Money is available on iTunes and on her website.
‘Carmen is so effortlessly funny with the best, simplest, most deeply weird jokes. She is someone I watch when I want to get totally excited about stand-up again.’

‘Comedian Carmen Lynch Kills on Letterman!’ Huffington Post
‘Carmen Lynch has carefully honed her brand of comedy that’s both a bit bubbly and a tad dark, but charming all the way through’ TheComedyBureau.com
‘Titled “Carmen”, the short follows professional funny lady Carmen Lynch as she explores being a woman in this modern world through her dark and excellent humour. She talks about being obsessed with death, and imagining her friends dying, and it's funny. She talks about taking the morning after pill in the afternoon, and somehow makes its exorbitant price funny. Very genius.’
