Agnes Carter and Gita Blaze: Magic Mushrooms 4****
August 3, 2025 | one4review
A lovely morning spent in the company of two rising stars of stand-up. A Fringe tonic — with oat milk if you want it. 11am isn’t exactly comedy’s golden hour. Tucked just off the Royal Mile, at the back of … Read More
Kelly Rickard – Free As A Bird 4****
August 3, 2025 | one4review
A triumph. You’ve got to get her into your life. Kelly Rickard isn’t just funny. This Newcastle/Welsh hybrid is a whirling dervish of talent. The tone is set early with an absolute banger: a sharply furious routine about Tory … Read More
Sam Jay: We the People 3.5***
August 3, 2025 | one4review
Sam Jay wanders on stage with no announcement and no fanfare. At the end, Sam ponders off to the edge of the stage to say bye as we leave. In between happens a show that starts in pretty bleak despair … Read More
Becky Umbers: Put That Cat Back in the Bag 3.5***
August 3, 2025 | one4review
There’s a nice layered, non-linear structure to this show. Becky tells us things, and they seem perfectly reasonable, but a story’s in the framing. So things come back up again, and from a slightly different perspective, and we understand the … Read More
Josh Glanc: Family Man 4.5****
August 3, 2025 | one4review
Josh Glanc:Family Man has the joyous vibe of the long remembered Go Big Red Fire Engine by Adam Hills that won accolades galore. However, there is singing (such a brilliant voice), plus at no point is it conventional stand up comedy, … Read More
Thanyia Moore: August 5*****
August 3, 2025 | one4review
The wealth and strength of experience shine through in this show: Thanyia tells us she’d been doing stand up for ten years before she first came to the Fringe, and we’ve added another three years to that, through which I … Read More
Tom Stade: Naughty by Nature 4****
August 3, 2025 | one4review
Tom Stade walks onstage like a man with nothing left to prove — and then goes ahead and proves it anyway. From the outset, his signature crowdwork is effortless, expertly gauging a room that spans generations — from twentysomethings to … Read More
The Asian Comedy Showcase 4****
August 3, 2025 | one4review
The Asian Showcase is quietly becoming one of the standing institutions of the Fringe — a fast-paced, unpredictable comedy cocktail where Asian talent from around the world shares the stage with rising stars, seasoned pros, and the occasional “token straight … Read More
Jain Edwards: She-Devil 3***
August 3, 2025 | one4review
A stifling room and a slow, unnerving, inexorable slide into a mirror realm where the stories you hear make you feel like the reddit-mom saying “oh, honey, no! Don’t marry that man and don’t take his nonsense” make this a … Read More
Ralph Brown – Dead Inside 4****
August 3, 2025 | one4review
There is a quiet kind of thrill in watching a comic step into their prime. Ralph Brown, long a clever and likeable presence on the circuit, arrives this year with something far sharper, deeper — and frankly, funnier — than … Read More
