Rachel Fairburn Is Trying It On

A new stand-up comedy show in Manchester built around character comedy, led by British comedian Rachel Fairburn, with other comedians on the bill at Fairfield Social Club.

Trying It On is a newly created comedy show focused on character comedy. Rachel Fairburn, a British stand-up who has appeared on Live at the Apollo on BBC One, takes the lead, and the afternoon also features other comedians performing alongside them. The material sits within live stand-up and character work, the form Rachel Fairburn has worked in since 2008.

The show is staged at Fairfield Social Club on Irk Street in Manchester. The venue mainly hosts theatre and stage performances, with a particular focus on stand-up comedy, which places this event within its regular programme of live comedy.

The bill suits anyone interested in British stand-up and character comedy who wants an afternoon of live performance from a single comedy line-up in one room. Rachel Fairburn's name leads the show, and the event is presented as a brand new production rather than a revival or a tribute.
