Caitriona Dowden is Holier Than Thou 3***
August 9, 2024 | one4review
Caitriona Dowden has hit upon a good conceit for her stage presence: an outwardly monotonous and dry delivery juxtaposes with and gives lie to the content of her material. This is comedy with one eyebrow half raised, dry, yes, but … Read More
TBC: A Stand-Up Experiment 4****
August 9, 2024 | one4review
The success or failure of this concept-show rests entirely on the performer, so it’s good that the performer is Rob Alderson, accomplished comedian and workshop-facilitator extraordinaire. ‘Workshop facilitator’ is meant here as the highest compliment; the show simply wouldn’t be … Read More
Seymour F*cking Mace You C*nts – 5*****
August 8, 2024 | one4review
I don’t know why, but I feel my Fringe has not really started in earnest until I have had the annual dose of Seymour Mace and the brilliant mayhem he continues to produce year on year. If there are rules … Read More
Andrew Maxwell – The Bare Maximum 5*****
August 7, 2024 | one4review
It is always good to have something that can be relied upon and in Fringe terms it is a certainty that an hour spent in the company of Andrew Maxwell is a guarantee of 60 minutes of top-quality fare. Andrew … Read More
John Robertson’s The Dark Room – 5*****
August 7, 2024 | one4review
There’s always a little tension for me when I’m going to see a “cult” show for the first time. I worry I might find myself lost in a sea of catchphrases and in-jokes that I’ll never escape from. Fortunately, John … Read More
Baby Wants Candy – 5*****
August 7, 2024 | one4review
There are a lot of Fringe staples that don’t live up to the hype for newcomers, and I’ve found this to be the case a few times, especially in the case of Improv shows. I was beginning to think that … Read More
Showstopper! The improvised musical 5*****
August 7, 2024 | one4review
This is the 15th year of Showstoppers! at the Fringe. On previous years we have not seen this as my 12 year old reviewer is not keen on musicals. This year however we thought we’d give it a try and … Read More
Dr Jo Prendergast: Cool Mum 4****
August 7, 2024 | one4review
Finding shows for tweens and teens can be tricky. This is the first comedy show I’ve been able to bring my twelve year along to and she loved it. Dr Jo is a New Zealand based psychiatrist. She is the … Read More
Chelsea Birkby: This Is Life, Cheeky Cheeky 3.5***
August 7, 2024 | one4review
Chelsea Birkby is so warm and charming, that it is unfortunate that her show feels less like comedy than a lecture from a enthusiastic but bemused newly qualified academic. She is positive and endearing, but her show seems to not … Read More
Jack Skipper : Skint 4.5****
August 7, 2024 | one4review
Jack Skipper is a former carpet fitter from South London turned full time comedian. He references the title of his show. It seems that his new found success and fame has not yet quite transferred into material wealth. But with … Read More
