4 Stars ****

With a starting time approachingmidnight, generally I am in danger of turning into a pumpkin by then; this show features some of the best of the female comics appearing on the Fringe.

It is a laid back atmosphere, the room and the seating is more akin to a lounge than a comedy club the MC of this and every night is Sajeela Kershi, one half of sketch group Asian Provocateurs, in her more usual role as a stand-up.

The line up varies each night but the ethos is the same, numerous female acts turn up and perform part of their show, maybe ten minutes or so, to give a taster of the full experience. It’s good promotion for them and good for the audience too.

The night I attended their were two sketch groups, two stand-ups, a ukulele playing singer of comedy songs and a shark!!! I kid you not., but don’t expect it to be the same when you venture there.

The show has a nice feel about it, a bunch of mates spending time together and with Ms Kershi in charge things flow smoothly.

As part of the Free Festival entry is free, but a donation bucket is there for you to make your donation when leaving, well these fillies do need to eat after all.
