Abnormally Funny People’s 2025 Edinburgh Fringe set.

To mark their 20th anniversary, AFP took over the 2025 Edinburgh Festival Fringe with a stellar line-up, featuring comedians with disabilities. Founded by Simon Minty and Steve Best, this comedy group uses humour to challenge perceptions and share their lived experiences.
