The network has just dropped the news that Loose Women 's beloved Judi Love will take the reins as the host for four special shows set to broadcast in August, promising a hefty dose of humour with ITVX Presents: LIVE COMEDY from the Edinburgh Fringe. Streaming directly on ITV, the event is curated by NextUp and promises a fresh roster of comedians each night, live from the epicentre of the Fringe festivities.
Each hour-long episode will showcase a mix of established comedians and emerging talents making waves this year. Judi couldn't contain her excitement about her hosting gig, saying: "If you can't make it in person to the Edinburgh Fringe do not worry as we're bringing it straight into your homes." She added, "You'll be able to watch stand-up comedy, live from Edinburgh from your sofa! I'm truly excited to be hosting these four nights and sharing this experience with all these talented acts.
" While the breakthrough acts are yet to be announced, they'll be selected once the Fringe gets underway, starting August 2. And if you miss the live specials, fear not they'll be.
