Lorna Rose Treen has taken the Edinburgh Fringe by storm with her uproarious show, 24-Hour Diner People, earning her the coveted title of Best Joke of the Fringe winner. The comedian’s latest act is a masterclass in absurdity, blending quick wit with surreal humour to keep audiences laughing from start to finish.
Set in a fictional all-night diner, Treen’s performance is a whirlwind of eccentric characters and bizarre scenarios, all delivered with impeccable timing. Critics and fans alike have praised her ability to turn the mundane into the extraordinary, proving once again why she’s one of the most exciting voices in comedy today.
Why This Show Stands Out
Unlike traditional stand-up, Treen’s act leans heavily into improvisation and audience interaction, making each performance unique. Her signature joke—a brilliantly stupid one-liner about a diner’s late-night special—has become the talk of the festival, securing her the Best Joke award.
A Rising Star in Comedy
At just 26, Treen has already made a name for herself with previous Fringe hits, but 24-Hour Diner People marks her boldest work yet. The show’s mix of physical comedy, sharp writing, and sheer unpredictability has cemented her status as a must-see act.
If you’re in Edinburgh this August, don’t miss the chance to experience Treen’s genius firsthand. It’s comedy at its most inventive—and downright silly.
