Always good to see a full house and Chris Turner’s show, Vegas Baby was packed to the rafters. He’s ever such a nice bloke, all Tux-ed up and drinking from a crystal glass it’s obvious he’s a classy act.

The story revolves around his Vegas residency working with Cirque du Soleil, while his wife had just given birth to their first baby. It sounded like mayhem but he had to follow his dreams. And fortunately for him, his wife was only too happy to go with him.

Chris is a Fringe regular, in fact he met his wife here a few years back, so you can tell Edinburgh means a lot to him.

He has a lovely way with the audience and there’s some great interaction. We give him a varied range of topics and he performs an incredible freestyle rap!

Vegas sadly doesn’t go exactly to plan and the reality of having a new family and responsibilities hits home. However, Vegas’s loss is Edinburghs gain:

This show is outstanding so go and see it, if you can get a ticket! It’s an absolute must see.
