It’s not just for fun, though it certainly should be a laugh. COMEDIANS vs HIBS Under 17s Girls Charity Football Match is a fundraising event based on a contest between Fringe comedians and Hibs Girls on Sunday 9 August at 2pm. It’s free to get into Meadowbank Stadium but donations go to The Junction, a local charity supporting young people in Leith and North East Edinburgh.
Last year the comedians lost 6-5. This year they say booze and late nights will not affect a new healthier team. Hibs Girls will be managed by Edinburgh based comedian Jojo Sutherland (she has a solo show at the Stand during the Fringe) who’s daughter Ciara is the Hibs girls captain.
