Splash Test Dummies 5*****
August 12, 2022 | one4reviewThis show is an old favourite of ours. We’ve seen it about 5 times now and we still absolutely love it. The Underbelly’s Circus Hub on the Meadows is the perfect venue for this hilarious and riotous show. A combination … Read More
Smashing Shakespeare: Romeo and Juliet 5****
August 12, 2022 | one4reviewShakespeare for kids can be challenging. My daughter and I have seen shows that have been a bit too silly, or a bit too dry. This one woman show is just the perfect balance. Lecoq trained actor Penelope Soloman used … Read More
Monski Mouse’s Baby Disco Dance Hall – 5 Stars
August 9, 2022 | one4reviewI will begin by saying that this is not my first time at a baby disco and I am not worried about dishing out a 1-star as I know all too well what it’s like to be that parent … Read More
Carnival of the Animals by Circa – 4****
August 9, 2022 | one4reviewWe open Circa’s Carnival of Animals with a somewhat ringmaster banging a large stick, seemingly bringing on the animals at the circus. Zebras, elephants, penguins, monkeys, cats? This show has so many animal references you start to lose count, … Read More
Yellow Bird Chase – 5*****
August 9, 2022 | one4reviewIf I could give this show 6 stars I would. We are instantly engaged by our trio of ‘Maintenance workers’ Capcap – the serious, almost Napoleonesque leader (with medals and the hat to match), Toodles, the loveable dotty daydreamer … Read More

Comedy Club 4 Kids 2.5**
August 7, 2022 | one4reviewMy 10-year-old and I had high hopes for this one. Described as a selection of the fringe’s finest comedians, but for kids, every show is different. The compere, Lee Kyle, was excellent. He struck the balance between being kid-friendly but … Read More
Tales from a Haunted Bookshop 4****
August 7, 2022 | one4reviewNestled in a small room in the attic of Teviot is a wee gem of a show. The stage is set up like a small bookshop, complete with a rickety bookshelf containing interesting looking books, a ventriloquist’s dummy and a … Read More
The Dark Room (for kids!) 5*****
August 6, 2022 | one4reviewThe Dark Room is described as the world’s first live-action video game. Audience members are selected and given the scenario “You wake to find yourself in a dark room…” and they have to give one of four answers, such as … Read More
The Extraordinary Time-Travelling Adventures of Baron Munchausen 4****
August 6, 2022 | one4reviewStorytelling is one of our favourite types of children’s show and this show did not let us down. There are three excellent actors who take to the stage: an admiral, a spaceman and a noble lady. They are all acquaintances … Read More
