On Tuesday 18th August, former Williamwood pupil Joe Gardner competed in the ‘Class Clowns’ stand-up comedy competition at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The competition, for ages 12-18, was staged at the Gilded Balloon which is Edinburgh’s top comedy venue. Joe successfully made it to the final where he faced 4 other teenagers from all across Scotland. The competition was judged by venue founder Karen Koren and comedians Kevin Day and Jo Brand! After some deliberation, Joe was announced as the winner, making him the first ever Class Clowns winner in Edinburgh and the ‘funniest teenager in Scotland’. Joe was supported by many of his peers and staff on the night. His professional and slick style of delivering relatable, honest material was commended by the judges. The comedy baton was gladly passed from one Jo(e) to another!
