It can’t be easy being three young Edinburgh based comics watching their city being invaded by a load of comedians from all over the world. It can’t be any easier if you are in a somewhat obscure venue and do not have a listing in the Fringe programme.

On Tour (We live Here) are collectively Struan Logan, David Baxter and Becky Price, three graduates from the 2012 Comedy Academy are battling the odds and it got worse, on the day I went Ms Price was unwell but never fear the lads gathered up a few of their pals as the show must go on ethos was alive and well.

Logan took the roll of compere and warmed up the audience with a selection of material and audience interaction and really did quite well given the rather bijou audience numbers prior to introducing David Baxter to open with an interesting take on the song ‘I Love It’ by Iconic Pop, something he intentionally over analysed.

John Sheppard was next and this Glasgow based Devonian won more than a few friends with his material and presentation.

Richard Brown followed and was also well received prior to Hari Sriskantha taking over to close out the gig with a well-rehearsed and delivered set.
