The Friends You Made Along the Way

Two of Scotland’s youngest comedians bring their fresh outlook and youthful energy to the Glasgow International Comedy Festival in their split bill show The Friends You Made Along The Way. The pair discuss big topics such as mixed-race identity and navigating the eliteness of Edinburgh with an air of silliness.

Damien Caldwell is a nerdy mixed-race American stand-up based in Edinburgh whose quick wit and relaxed delivery have allowed him to rise quickly on the Scottish scene. His unique international and multicultural upbringing makes for material that stands out and an endless stream of hilarious family stories.

Eva Peroni is a queer Scottish act who is now based in Edinburgh. Eva’s radical approach to political material and energetic delivery has gotten her regular appearances at clubs such as Monkey Barrel and The Stand and to the semi-finals of the LGBTQ+ New Comedian of the Year (2024).
