|Edinburgh Evening News
Edinburgh local Ayo Adenekan has been revealed as winner of this year’s Brass Tacks Debut Fund, supported by Red Bull UK. One of Scottish comedy’s most exciting rising stars, Ayo will bring his debut hour ‘Black Mediocrity’ to renowned comedy venue Monkey Barrel this August as part of a new funded Fringe scheme.
Edinburgh comedy production company Brass Tacks Comedy partnered with Red Bull UK earlier this year to offer a funded Edinburgh Festival Fringe debut for one Scottish or Scotland-based comedian, with over 50 applicants in total for the fund. Following deliberation by a panel of judges from across the comedy industry including comedians, promoters, and venue managers, Edinburgh’s own Ayo Adenekan was chosen as 2025’s recipient.
Ayo Adenekan’s ‘Black Mediocrity’ will perform at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe from 30 July - 24 August, 1.30pm at Monkey Barrel Comedy’s CabVol 2. Tickets available at: edfringe.com
