Milo Edwards: Catamaran

Catamaran is a stand-up show by Milo Edwards about the letters his parents wrote to each other in the 1980s. A box of them turned up among the belongings of his late mother, and Edwards uses the discovery to ask what remains of a human life once its owner has gone. The letters also reveal a far more ardent side to his parents than he had expected, and the show asks what became of Jim Lock's catamaran.

The performance is stand-up, and every ticket includes a seat in the auditorium. Its subject is personal and reflective, drawn from one family's correspondence, so the material centres on Edwards's own account of his parents rather than on a general topic.

Catamaran is staged at Monkey Barrel Comedy, a comedy club in Edinburgh that The List has described as a year-round institution in the city. The show was a Best Show nominee at the Leicester Comedy Festival in 2023 and 2024, and The List praised Edwards's dexterous delivery and precision with the material.
