Adam Larter: Good Morning Croissant 3***
August 23, 2019 | one4reviewThe most notable thing about this show is the wealth of visual aids and props Mr Larter has created for the show, some of them quite complex, even those only used for a small two-second throwaway line. The other noteworthy … Read More
Joz Norris Is Dead. Long Live Mr Fruit Salad. 4****
August 23, 2019 | one4reviewMr Norris seems to pour his heart and soul into his craft, and so what might have been simply ‘forty minutes of nonsense and a bit of scripted stand-up material’ is transformed into a – admittedly still silly and a … Read More
Tony Law and Phil Nichol: Virtue Chamber Echo Bravo Comedy 3***
August 23, 2019 | one4reviewThere are badges during this show. They bear the latin motto ‘adolescens habet scientiam’, which as far as I can work out means ‘young people don’t know shit’. Mr Law, in an interview with Richard Herring, described his comedy as … Read More

Daisy Earl:- Fairy Elephant 3.5***
August 21, 2019 | one4reviewGiven her normal speaking voice you could wonder how Daisy Earl won Scottish Comedian of the Year a year or two ago, but she is actually 75% Scot. You could also wonder at the tough love displayed by her mother … Read More
Ed Byrne:- If I’m Honest 4.5 ****
August 21, 2019 | one4reviewIt was 1998 that a first saw Ed Byrne perform in Edinburgh. It was his nominated show A Night at the Opera and I, along with others were blown away by the ease that he drew laughs and told his … Read More
Gavin Webster: – Buddhism and Other Such Rubbish 3.5 ***
August 21, 2019 | one4reviewI have always liked Gavin Webster as a comedian. The Geordie funny man has the demeanor of maybe ‘Old School’, and a bit shouty, but beneath this veneer, there is a very clever and funny man who always breaks through … Read More
