Ayo Adenekan’s second Edinburgh Fringe show, Homeland Insecurity, is a warm, mischievous comedy set built around a brief summer romance. The reviewer finds his perspective as a queer Scottish-African comic fresh and his joke-writing skilful, noting his rapid move from Fringe newcomer to Saturday Night Live UK writer, but judges the hour uneven and not yet fully developed.

The 24-year-old ranges from family and dating to friendship, festival rivalry and political jokes, with standout lines including one about his Nigerian diaspora family. However, the central love story is considered generic, some routines and a product-placement gag need further work, and his measured delivery and repeated points reduce the show’s momentum. The show runs at CabVol @ Monkey Barrel in Edinburgh until 30 August.
