Comics: A Decade of Comedy at the Assembly Rooms

Regarded as the major venue of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, the Assembly Rooms over the years have housed comics like Griff Rhys-Jones, Ben Elton, Lenny Henry, Rik Mayall, John Sessions, Jools Holland, Gerry Sadowitz and Julian Clary. Here John Connor, cabaret editor of "Time Out", presents a decade of photographs, jokes and anecdotes in a book which aims to reflect the changing face of comedy during the 1980s.
