There are two Fringe institutions in one at this show, the slightly more obvious one being, that this is a showcase of some of the best acts on the go this year and the other being Mervyn’s bright pink jacket, and I’m pleased to say that both institutions are alive and well!

It would be fair to say Mr Stutter’s audience is more mature than most shows, but there is a fair smattering of youngsters as well.

Mervyn entertains us for a short while and then up to seven acts get to showcase their shows, The performance I saw had comedy in the form of Hopkins & Glover, Sol Bernstien and Matt Dytinski, theatre in the form of Animal Farm by First In, Last Out Theatre Company and The Life Blood by Beat Theatre, Flop by Pig Iron Theatre and finally a acappella ‘boyband’ The Magnets who literally had the audience on their feet.

All in all an excellent show, and although each will be different, if the standard is the same high quality as this one, well, it’d be money well spent.
