Brexit 4****
August 23, 2018 | one4reviewRobert Khan and Tom Salinsky’s delightfully funny, yet slightly scary political play Brexit is set in 2020, when new Prime Minister Adam Masters, Timothy Bentinck, has the tough job of moving the exit forward whilst balancing the party wings to … Read More
Alistair Williams:- Great White Male 4****
August 23, 2018 | one4reviewIt is true that Alistair Williams falls into the demographic of a privileged white male comedian, but is it his fault? He is trying to forge a career doing something he loves, having given up a far more lucrative job … Read More
Picasso’s Women 5*****

Like a Sturgeon – PBJ Management – 4****
August 23, 2018 | one4reviewDrag artist Ripley provides a political drama with a fabulous performance of lip-synced comedy, drag, politics and pop music. Ripley cleverly adapts lyrics to well known songs that fit in with the political news stories that are shown on a … Read More

Bodily 4****
August 22, 2018 | one4reviewA word to describe Mr Lane would be ‘underappreciated’, and that word is not hyphenated. He’s got the perfect stage presence to match the kind of comedy he does (utterly self-confident; kinda kooky) and an eye for the silly and … Read More
Linda:- Freya Slipper / Keepers Comedy 3***
August 22, 2018 | one4reviewThis show is listed in the comedy section of the Fringe program, and whilst it is amusing, I’m not quite sure it is its best home. It teeters along the tightrope of character comedy, sketch, or even a theatrical piece … Read More
Rory O’Hanlon:- Comedy Hour 4****
August 22, 2018 | one4reviewThere it is in a nutshell. Rory O’Hanlon and an hour of comedy. There can’t be many Fringe show titles that sum up what is going to happen as succinctly as this can there? But what it doesn’t tell you, … Read More
