Avalon Edinburgh Preview: Garrett Millerick and James Trickey

Garrett Millerick
A phenomenal stand-up comic, Garrett’s breakout television performance was on the hit US late-night talk show Conan (TBS).

The performance came off the back of his breakthrough live show Sunflower which became one of the best reviewed and most talked about shows of Edinburgh Fringe 2018. Garrett has since followed up the show with three further shows: Smile, Just Trying to Help and Never Had it So Good. All three shows transferred to London before touring the UK and have been recorded by 800 Pound Gorilla Records to stream and purchase internationally. In 2024 Garrett debuted his latest show Garrett Millerick Needs More Space at the Edinburgh Fringe which will tour nationally in the autumn.

In 2024 Garrett created, wrote and starred in his first sitcom, Do Gooders, on BBC Radio 4 and BBC Sounds. A six-part series set in the offices of a mid-level charity, the show boasted an incredible cast including Frank Skinner, Fay Ripley, Lisa McGrillis, Ahir Shah, Ania Magliano and Glenn Moore. The show received widespread critical acclaim and was named a critic’s choice in publications including The Sunday Times, The Observer, The Telegraph, The Independent, The Daily Mail, The Radio Times and Chortle. He previously created and co-hosted hit podcast Laughable with Jayde Adams and Red Richardson which was picked by the Guardian as one of the funniest podcasts to listen to during the pandemic.

‘Smart, provocative, playful and devastatingly funny’ ★★★★ Chortle

‘This brave and winning hour certainly pulls no punches’ ★★★★ The Times

‘Get on board and enjoy the thrill of his comedy white water rafting’ ★★★★ The Scotsman

James Trickey
James Trickey is a rising comedian, hailed as ‘absolutely one to watch’ (Edinburgh Reviews). With a sharp mind and a distinct take on life, he crafts a blend of silly gags and physical comedy with clever and surprising routines.

His Edinburgh Fringe debut show Don’t Count on Me was a sell-out hit and critical success; and he recently featured in an episode of BBC’s Funny Parts.

Performing across the UK and at numerous festivals, James was the Chortle Student Comedy runner-up in 2018 and was recently nominated for Best New Show at the Leicester Comedy Festival.

‘Trickey’s command of the stage is absolute, his timing flawless’ ★★★★ The List

‘Trickey has certainly got it’ The Guardian
