Basil Bottler Basil Bottler, intergalactic man of mystery, the galaxy’s laziest comedian is back! After taking last year off (because he couldn't be bothered), cult underground sensation Basil is back at the Fringe this year with a new one-off comedy show, with jokes, songs, poems, but mostly a lot of laziness. Don’t miss your only chance to see self-employed astronaut Basil in the flesh / cardboard as he performs his unique brand of comic chaos – unless he’s feeling a bit tired. Basil is a lover, a dreamer, a visionary, but most of all he’s a Lazy Sod. None
