The Ugly Duckling – 4****
August 20, 2025 | one4review
Revel Puck Circus and Underbelly reimagine the classic tale of the Ugly Duckling, a children’s story we all know well, and put a self-aware and high circus spin on it. What’s great here is that before the show has … Read More

Explosive Science Show! – Showmen 4****
August 20, 2025 | one4review
Magnus Danger Magnus heads to Edinburgh for the very first time in the Explosive Science Show! It’s a gleefully chaotic crash course in science, curiosity and crowd work. We went during a relaxed performance, but I don’t think that really … Read More
The Box Show – 5*****
August 18, 2025 | one4review

Out of the Box – 5*****
August 17, 2025 | one4review
What’s great about this show is how it’s a great cycle of mini-acts: trick shots, expert circus skills, and playful set pieces that bring utter joy. All of this is driven, somehow, by a brilliantly unassuming and sweet non-verbal … Read More
