Information for Marc Burrows - The Britpop Show at The Stand, Edinburgh (One person show). Award-winning writer, comedian and music journalist Marc Burrows is delighted to be taking The Britpop Show - a multimedia stand-up celebration of one of Britain's most iconic and chaotic musical eras to over twenty venues on tour in 2026. This year marks the 30th anniversary of the mega Blur vs Oasis chart battle, and The Britpop Show unpicks the rivalries, hype, absurd personalities and unforgettable music that defined the 90s Britpop era and changed the face of UK culture. Equal parts love letter and send-up, The Britpop Show is sharp, silly and surprisingly moving. It explores the legacy of the era, from middle-class pretension vs working-class grit to the way British music tried to reinvent itself in the '90s, to what happened when cocaine, commercialisation and culture wars kicked in. The show blends comedy, cultural commentary and nostalgic chaos to remember what made Britpop brilliant in the first place and to create something uniquely fun and resonant - a show for diehard fans, curious newbies, and anyone who remembers the distinct sound of 1995. Packed with jokes, classic tunes, and a heartfelt celebration of the best (and worst) of a musical moment that still shapes British identity today, this is a joyous, raucous look back at the 90s. Remembering the music, memories and the mayhem, this show is an hour of pure fun that captures the spirit of a cultural moment when anything seemed possible.
