The Barry Experience 4 ****

Good, funny comedy doesn’t always mean the audience laughs constantly for an hour. Confident comedians with good material can take the time to tell a story or anecdote and make the audience wait for it. Mr Ferns (the eponymous Barry) … Read More

Matt Price: The Maryhill Dinosaur 5*****

Apparently, for free shows, audiences don’t tend to be particularly prompt (the location of this particular room – right at the top – might have contributed), so Mr Price had some time to suss out the audience, make us feel … Read More

Goose (An Odd New One-Man Comedy Whodunit) 4****

The last fifteen minutes of this superb one-man (plus musician) show make the first forty-five both essential, and entirely worth it. There are three layers of story going on (like Russian dolls), as well as Mr Drake’s asides … Read More

Invisible Woman: Maxine Jones 3***

Kai Humphries – Stuff Protocol 4****

Geordie born but Edinburgh based now Kai Humphries has always been a very funny guy, well certainly since I first saw him a few years ago but for me this is his best Edinburgh show to date.

Humphries opens with … Read More

Ria Lina – School of Riason 4****

As if it isn’t hard enough being a mum to three kids and being an excellent comic as well Ms Lina has taken on the onerous and time consuming task of home schooling her brood following … Read More

Andrew Maxwell -Hubble Bubble 4****

Diminutive in stature Andrew Maxwell may be, but this Irish comedy superstar is certainly not lacking in comedy ability and is guaranteed to deliver in his show and loves Scotland, this is also his 20th Fringe … Read More
