★★★★★

Sean Morley has built a reputation for pushing the boundaries of what stand-up can be, and Backchannel, playing at Monkey Barrel Comedy, feels like another leap forward: a show that interrogates the relationship between performer and audience while delivering some of the biggest laughs you'll hear in Edinburgh.

“Sean Morley: Backchannel” – Monkey Barrel Comedy, Edinburgh Fringe ★★★★☆
“Excellent comedy that is bang up to date”

This is part of a series of shorter reviews from Edinburgh Fringe, August 2026.

Julie Tyler
(Audience member)
Outstanding! Very original and inventive, and deserving of a much bigger audience. Highly recommended, especially if you fancy a change from the standard stand-up format.

ah yeah ok. the murderer could have been leftwing *or* they could have been an anarchist *or* they could have been interested in a single thing (unspecified)

Investigators are considering whether leftwing, anarchist and single-issue terrorism (LASIT) played a role in the suspect’s alleged motivation,

In May Leicester Comedy Festival's parent company announced payments to most of its artists would be delayed, but that "this is a case of a small delay rather than 'you won't be paid'". Their building's just been repossessed.

An arts venue, managed by the charity that runs the annual Leicester Comedy Festival, has been repossessed due to financial issues.

The Big Difference, on the High Street in Leicester city centre, opened its doors in 2020 aimed at showcasing new talent and local performers in music and comedy.

I'll say it again, the WIP of this show last year was the best thing I saw all Fringe, another stroke of genius from comedy’s master experimentalist. I’ll refrain from spoilers, but in typically ingenious style, Morley has found a way to spin gold by centring the audience, turning us all into mischievous hecklers but in a way that actually enriches the show. He’s had a year to tinker with the concept since then, so I’m guessing this will be very finely-tuned, a comedic hall of mirrors from which you will not want to escape.

this last bit can't be true, can it?

"Morely" can refer to a surname derived from place names or be used informally as a slang term meaning "more or less" or "actually."
