2014 was Jimmy’s 11th Edinburgh Fringe (see here) and his gigs were August 15, 16, 22 and 23 (Funny Business tour).

That year John Lloyd (he of QI fame, not the tennis player) took John Lloyd’s Museum of Curiosity Live to Underbelly, Bristo Square in Edinburgh.

Running daily (at 4.20pm) from the 16th to 24th each show was 1 hour and tickets were £13.50 / £11.50. It was announced in Chortle in May and also The Times.

It was advertised as:

Different guests daily include Jimmy Carr, Susan Calman and Phill Jupitus, alongside a host of entertaining experts, in a live version of the BBC Radio 4 hit.

“QI with even more jokes” (Radio Times)

This Fringe Review says:

This afternoon’s guests were comedians Sara Pascoe and Jimmy Carr, alongside vice chancellor of Edinburgh University Sir Tim O’Shea. With the stage set simply with five black chairs and their accompanying microphones, and a projector screen behind them, the elegance of it all was plain to see.

My only issue with it is the article is dated the 7th and talks about “today’s inaugural show” – which means it has to have been on the 16th.

Jimmy’s other MOC appearances are here.
