John Tothill: This Must Be Heaven - Edinburgh Fringe 2026


  • Edinburgh Fringe Cabaret Bar, Pleasance Courtyard, 60 Pleasance Edinburgh, Scotland, EH8 9TJ United Kingdom (map)

John Tothill's critically-acclaimed, Edinburgh Comedy Award-nominated show returns to Fringe for its final ever performances.

In 2024, John Tothill nearly died. In 2025, he went on an underwhelming cruise. Both events were equally life changing.

Join him in his own personal paradise as he attempts to monetise what life he has left.

Support for Alan Davies, Simon Amstell, Emma Sidi, Mitch Wood, Sheeps & Fiona Allen.
As seen on 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown and Comedy Central Live. As featured on This American Life.
