A better path to a good laugh: Not long to go until the Edinburgh Festival Fringe ’25

Celebrating 20 years of top-tier comedy, Abnormally Funny People are back to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe ‘25! And they’re bringing even more laughs and lived experience.


The Motability Scheme is proud to support the group’s inclusive comedy show again this summer. Abnormally Funny People is a sharp and diverse line-up of disabled comedians. And it’s fair to say they’re not afraid to poke fun at tricky topics: from dating to diagnosis, and everything in between. 

Line up now announced: More comedians, more stories, and more to smile about 

Best friends and founders of Abnormally Funny People, Simon Minty and Steve Best, are back producing this comedy spectacle. 

This year’s line-up features some of the UK’s boldest and brightest comedy voices. 

You’ll see Lee Ridley, also known as Lost Voice Guy, Britain’s Got Talent winner and master of the unexpected punchline. His sharp humour and tech-savvy delivery never miss a beat. 

Lawrence Clark delivers intelligent, personal and thought-provoking stand-up, wrapped in dry wit. 

Ria Lina adds a fearless edge, blending science and comedy with sharp insight and no shortage of punch. 

Liz Carr, known to many from Silent Witness, is a powerful voice both on and off stage. She uses comedy to challenge perceptions and share her unique take on the world. 

Plus, Tanyalee Davis returns, with her no-nonsense, big-hearted style that’s won fans around the world. 

And many, many more!
