Jamie Kilstein: Can't Tie Knots at Gilded Balloon Teviot (Lounge)

Jamie Kilstein returns to the Edinburgh Fringe with a darkly funny and unexpectedly uplifting hour about survival, shame, public failure, grief, and what happens after the worst year of your life becomes internet content. Blending stand-up with storytelling, Kilstein unpacks the truth behind his online persona, a public downfall, a fateful appearance on Joe Rogan, and the impossible task of learning how to keep going when your world collapses. A cult favourite in alternative comedy, Kilstein has built a reputation for emotionally raw, politically charged, and wildly funny performances. Robin Williams once said of Kilstein: "He has the spark that energized my conscience."
