100 Million Fish in the Aquarium
A show about the strange, funny and deeply human ways we try to make sense of ourselves. Warmth, darkness, honesty and a bit of a wink.
by Shannon Brooke — Australian comedian, loose in Edinburgh
100 Million Fish in the Aquarium
Shannon's second solo hour. After a lifetime of quietly performing odd little compulsions, she got an answer — and turned it into an hour about OCD, storytelling, and the very human business of trying to make sense of yourself. It's honest. It's dark. It's genuinely funny. Nobody mentions horses.
Shannon Brooke, apparently
Australian comedian, now doing her thing in Edinburgh. Six-odd years on stage across Australia, Germany and Scotland, and — for what it's worth — Roast Battle Berlin Champion.
She writes with warmth and an edge in equal measure: sunny one second, sharp the next. Big fan of opposable thumbs. In 2025 she moved to Edinburgh and, against the odds, did not quit comedy.
She walks a tightrope and never falls off
"Absurd, honest, dark, heartfelt… and never loses her balance."One4Review
"A working dichotomy between sunniness and edge."Edinburgh Laughter Bulletin
"Great stage energy and stage presence."The Stand Comedy Club
