“Amelia has incredible energy as a performer and, not only is she doing something truly different, but it is also incredibly funny. She is a star in the making.” – Angela Barnes

Amelia Hamilton: ‘Moral Support’

Stand-up rap comedian Amelia Hamilton (2025 ISH Edinburgh Comedy Awards Best Newcomer; as heard on BBC Radio 4 and seen on BBC iPlayer) brings Moral Support, her sophomore show at the Edinburgh Fringe, to Baby Grand at the Pleasance Courtyard from 5th – 30th August. Blending razor-sharp stand-up with rapid-fire rap, Hamilton takes aim at everything we’ve got wrong about modern morality.

It’s 2026 and we are living in a new Wild West where the old rules don’t apply. In fact she’s sick of doing what you're supposed to - she’s turned comedy outlaw, overturning every dress code, thanking every ex-girlfriend of every boyfriend she’s had and drawing some surprising conclusions from dating across the political spectrum.

Moral Support is an electrifying rap manifesto for anyone who has had enough and wants to fight back. Saddle up and bring your whisky, because each one of Amelia’s new rap lines is a deadly bullet in her lyrical revolver. She’s gonna show us that perhaps the good guys were actually the bad girls all along.
