A teenager walks into the Edinburgh Fringe.

He had already been doing stand-up on the London circuit since his late teens, honing material at clubs while studying (briefly) at the University of Manchester. The Fringe run announced a new voice in British comedy: posh, self-deprecating, and sharper than the accent suggested.
