According to Chortle, Lou Sanders is a surrealist comedienne who has written for Channel 4’s Stand-Up for the Week and BBC3’s Laughtershock. Her Edinburgh debut was in 2011 with her show How to be Awesome: An Introduction.

When interviewed in 2014 for The Latest, and asked among other things what her ambition for the rest of 2014 was, she said she was just trying, one day at a time, not to get pregnant.

Chortle says he was a finalist in the 2009 So You Think You’re Funny, and finalist in the 2011 Durex One Night Stand competition run by the Soho Thetre in London.

It also says his material is exquisitely written, punchline-driven material delivered with an alluringly relaxed stance, this was quirky yet accessible stuff from a future star.

I got this information from his site, and given that he is a comedian, it could all be made up.

I photographed him at the Edinburgh Fringe in summer 2015. And I am so disappointed that I missed focus on his eyes. He was probably moving forward when I took the shot, and I was not on the ball enough to get him to stop so that I could be sure of focus.
