Susie McCabe – Merchant of Menace 4.5****

It can’t have been the ideal run-up to Fringe 2024 for Susie McCabe. Two weeks before the kick-off of the grueling month of August and while in south of England, Susie suffered a heart attack and ended up with heart … Read More

Isabelle Farah: Nebuchadnezzar 3.5***

This show has a refreshingly original framing; ostensibly it’s an examination of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon – the one who built the hanging gardens. Just under the surface it’s also got topical satire and modern social commentary. It’s a bit … Read More

Maeve Press: Failure Confetti 3***

Police Cops are known … Read More

Donuts 3***

The stage is set with a sofa and 2 lamps (looking pretty much like the start of the series Friends). The show starts with three cast members fidgeting about on the sofa, soon breaking out into synchronised dance movements. They … Read More

This vibrant and emotional show got the standing ovation it certainly deserved. Almost the whole audience waited around at the end to tell Ms Brasier how much they liked the show. It’s getting five stars in this review, and if … Read More

Monski Mouse’s Baby Disco Dance Hall – 5 Stars

I will begin by saying that this is not my first time at a baby disco and I am not worried about dishing out a 1-star as I know all too well what it’s like to be that parent … Read More
