Get Up Stand Up! at Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2009

August 31, 2009

The Get Up Stand Up! show had its fourth successful run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The show combines a strong politcal message with performances from almost 90 top festival comedians and 50 musicians.  It has proven a hugely popular format with sell out nights at the Jazz Bar throughout the three week run.

The film 'Anthropology 101' provides food for political thought, raising awareness about the issues surrounding nuclear weapons. We encouraged audiencs to consider the very positive opportunity created by the election of Presdient Obama and the real prospect of acheiving a world without nuclear weapons, as well as whether the UK should be replacing its own nuclear weapons system.

Thanks to all the fantastic comedians, musicians and volunteers for making this a fourth brilliant year.
Big thanks too to the Jazz Bar staff, Mirth Control, Rich Batsford and Kieran Naughton for all their support.
