Following an award winning sold-out run at the Edinburgh Fringe, Alison Spittle<\/b> is touring “her finest show to date” (The Scotsman).<\/p>\n
A man told Alison to sit down and now she’s doing a whole stand up show about it. After an encounter on a train with a man triggers a series of events that change Alison\u2019s life, she ponders if it\u2019s easier to change herself than the world around her. This is a big show about making yourself smaller.<\/p>\n
The winner of the Comedian\u2019s Choice Award at Edinburgh Fringe 2025, BIG was voted the best show of the festival by comedians, and also made British Comedy Guide\u2019s list of Best Reviewed Shows last year.<\/p>\n
Winner of the Best Performer Award at Dublin Fringe 2025.<\/p>\n
