A World Just Like Our Own, But…
There’s a world just like our own, but there isn’t a word for sand. There’s a world just like our own, but Edith Piaf regretted five things. An Edinburgh Festival sell-out hit, John-Luke Roberts presents a show about all the worlds we don’t live in, which is sneakily about the one we do.

★★★★ “One of the cleverest and most inventive shows on the Fringe.” The Telegraph
★★★★ ““A one man finger-in-the-dyke against the blandification of comedy” The Guardian

About John-Luke-A-Palooza
John-Luke-A-Palooza! includes all ten of John-Luke Roberts’ Edinburgh Fringe shows from 2010 to 2022, recorded over two Sundays in 2024.
It is accompanied by a free podcast called
John-Luke-A-Palodcast!,
discussing each show.
This project, where J-LR performed all of his previous shows on consecutive days, began at the 2024 Edinburgh Fringe and was filmed shortly after by Go Faster Stripe.
You can watch all the shows individually—or via a John-Luke-A-Palooza series pass—on the
Go Faster Stripe website.
