The Edinburgh Festival Fringe is just around the corner, with thousands of shows to take place across the Scottish capital.
If you’re overwhelmed by choice, sometimes the best way to narrow down your options is to stick with what you know - at least some of the time.
As such, fans of shows such as Last One Laughing will be keen to learn which familiar faces will be appearing at the Fringe this year with tickets available to book now.
Comedians from both the UK and Ireland edition of the show will be making their mark on Edinburgh this year, with stars including Ireland host Graham Norton and Sam Campbell, the UK series two runner up, all due to appear.
From full show runs to one night specials, here are the 12 Last One Laughing stars appearing at the 2026 Edinburgh Fringe.

1. Sam Campbell
Previous Edinburgh Comedy Award winner and runner up in the second series of Last One Laughing: UK, Australian Sam Campbell is set to make an appearance during Paddy Young Presents: A Night with the Stars. While he won’t be bringing a solo show to this year’s Fringe, Campbell will be present for one night with the show running at Monkey Barrel from August 12–22. He also has a gig lined up for Edinburgh Playhouse in September | Prime Video

2. Harriet Kemsley
Making it all the way to episode five in the first series, Harriet Kemsley will return to the 2026 Edinburgh Fringe with her new work in progress show Floozy.
