Immigrant Diaries: Sajeela Kershi and Friends 4****
August 5, 2019 | one4reviewIt was back in 2012 that Sajeela Kershi first put together the concept of this show together and has brought it to Edinburgh on several occasions since. The format is fairly simple in that she gathers a few of her … Read More
Annie McGrath: Shepherd 4****
August 4, 2019 | one4reviewAnnie McGrath holds the room with the ease of the seasoned performer; polished and with poise. She could use the crook to keep control – and I was particularly amused by its casual employment for emphasis towards the end – … Read More
Susan Murray: How Not To Die In A Plane Crash 3*** and a half
August 4, 2019 | one4reviewI learned things in this show, fascinating things, and I laughed. Excellent, job done!
Ms Murray is obsessed with a TV programme about investigations into aeroplane crashes. It is not, however, a ghoulish fascination; she acknowledges that it’s a horrible … Read More
Socially Awkward Penguin 3***
August 4, 2019 | one4reviewThe venue is definitely a third participant in this show (alongside audience and performer). It’s basically a big bar, so no house lights, and a good chance some of the people in the bay seating will be facing the wrong … Read More
Peter Brush: Present. Tense. 3***

Reality Sucks! 2** and one half
August 4, 2019 | one4reviewMitigating factors about this show: 1. there were only two of us in the audience. That’s disconcerting for everyone, audience and performer. Ms Chima likened it to an AA meeting. 2. It starts before lunchtime. I think people who would … Read More
Masie Adam: Hang Fire 4****
August 3, 2019 | one4reviewMaisie Adam is fairly new on the comedy scene but her rise has been meteoric. 3 years ago she had never done a stand-up gig. Her first was not the normal 5 minutes, no she did an hour. 2 months … Read More
Lucie Pohl – Really, Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Real 4****
August 3, 2019 | one4reviewLucie Pohl has become one of my favourite performers at the fringe and never disappoints. Her relaxed manner and oodles of charisma have the audience onside with her dynamic performance from the off. In her show this year Lucie covers … Read More
Esther Manito: Crusade 4****
August 3, 2019 | one4reviewEsther Manito is performing her debut Edinburgh hour with her show Crusade, based on her own personal crusade with life. She was born in a village Essex to a Lebanese father and a Geordie mother and due to the cultural … Read More
Tom Houghton: That’s What I Go To School For 4****
August 3, 2019 | one4reviewThere can be no doubt that Tom Houghton had a privileged upbringing. His father was the Chief of the Military in the UK and lives in the Tower of London for God’s sake. He was one of the 7% of … Read More
