Milo Edwards: Sentimental

Award-winning comedian Milo Edwards comes to Alexander’s Live in Chester with his hit new show 'Sentimental'...

Milo is a 30-year-old orphan but why does that matter? In the bigger picture it’s probably a small matter. Still, he’s sentimental about it, and a few other things, despite what people might tell you… ‘A lack of sentimentality’ - Chortle

Fresh from a sell-out 5 star run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, racking up the NextUp nomination for Best Show and a sell out Australian tour, Milo is now bringing Sentimental on a UK tour.

Praise for Sentimental:
"Some of the toughest subject matter dealt with in an incredibly skillful, life-affirming, and uplifting way" - The Wee Review 5*
"A great comedian" - Broadway Baby 5*
"frequently uproarious, with greased up machine-tooled gags rattling out across the hour giving very little space for breath" - Chortle 4*
“Milo Edwards returns to the Fringe this year with a show” - The Comic’s Comic 4*
2023 Recommended Fringe Shows to See - British Comedy Guide
