Yvonne Hughes: Absolutely Riddled (and loving it) (work in progress)
Part of our 2025 programme of Edinburgh Fringe warm ups.
This June/July we have twenty different tasters of Edinburgh shows from some of the best acts on the Scottish comedy scene and beyond.
Yvonne Hughes: Absolutely Riddled (and loving it)
Yvonne Hughes is the only female comedian in the UK who has cystic fibrosis (CF).
Absolutely Riddled is a fresh and bold dive into the reality of living with CF – a journey that's as phlegmy as it is funny. Yvonne shares her absurd story from miracle meds to magazine spreads with a candour rarely found in glossy publications.
She's not just "another survivor"; she's a fearless powerhouse embracing the parts of CF that others might shy away from talking about – especially mucus!
This stand-up show promises an unapologetic, hilarious take on life, where Yvonne navigates her 50s, transforming from someone barely surviving to fully thriving. Complete with a song about mucus.
