Refreshing Pod - Fringe 2026: Chris Forbes

Fringe Fever is set to take over Edinburgh once again, officially running from 7th - 31st August 2026.

Celebrate Christmas in the middle of the summer? .. Yes please!

Expect trees, tinsel and tragedy as Chris puts on his Christmas jumper in his latest stand-up show about festive joy, family and the Christmas Day that changed everything in 'Father Christmas'

You might know Chris from BBC Scotland's 'Scot Squad' he also has 2 other famous brothers in the shape of Andy & Jamie Murray.

Chris alongside his 'Mum' Judy Murray has amassed over 20 million views as 'Duncan Murray' the not so good tennis player who's also residing inside the Murray household.

Johnny speaks to Chris about his 2026 Fringe run, being 'Duncan' and his love for both tennis, basketball (Chris is so tall!) golf and football.

As this interview goes live, it's only 151 days until Christmas Day. Johnny needs to know is Chris the only person in August who's online buying crackers and fairy lights? .. Go & see the main man this summer!

Chris is one of the most in demand comics in the UK. Outside regular gigs in the UK, Chris has gigged all over the world from America to Canada to Australia to Norway to Dubai, and supported Kevin Bridges on tour.
