Chuck Salmon: Pool Noodles 4****
August 14, 2022 | one4review
This well-developed whimsical romp is long-form sketch comedy. It’s got many of the elements you’d expect from sketch and improv – a plot that refuses to do the expected, a plethora of well-drawn characters, inventive and minimalist staging – but … Read More
Tom Henry, Jack Hester: Tom and Jack Having the Craic 2.5**
August 10, 2022 | one4review
I kinda thought that this show was going to be a double act with Tom & Jack, however what we get is a show split in 2 with the boys plying their trade separately. It’s a cracking venue they share … Read More
Hannah Fairweather: Just a Normal Girl Who Enjoys Revenge 3***
August 7, 2022 | one4review
I saw this show early in her run, presumably before Ms Fairweather has got into her stride. I hope she does find that stride because there’s good stuff here. Rather like bread dough needs time and space to breathe and … Read More
Luca Cupani – Happy Orphan 3 ½ ***
August 6, 2022 | one4review
I would imagine that It is definitely a challenge to do one’s first Edinburgh hour. It must be even more so when one is doing it in not their first language, and in Luca’s case English is not even his … Read More
Joey Page: Afterlife (An Idiot Considers a Series of Distractions Before Death) 3***
August 23, 2019 | one4review
I have seen Joey Page a few times over the years, either being a compere or doing a slot on a compilation show, yet this was the first time I ventured to see a whole hour. On entering into the … Read More
Nick Everritt: The Deconstruction 4****
August 18, 2019 | one4review
Nick Everritt’s comedy will not be for everyone, and I suspect a most of the audience were probably wondering if they had indeed observed comedy. It is my opinion (and presumably Mr Everritt’s) that they had, but I would posit … Read More
Kate Lucas is Selling Herself 3***
August 17, 2019 | one4review
Kate Lucas is a musical comic and has been told she needs to sell herself more. All the social media hype of making oneself a brand doesn’t sit well with her. She has little confidence to do it herself. Until … Read More
Joe Jacobs:- Grimefulness 3***
August 17, 2019 | one4review
From the moment this show commenced it was obvious that Joe Jacobs was the man on the decks. The confident performer took command and laid out his show reel of that as initially a rapper but also a comedian, and … Read More
Sam Morrison :- Hello Daddy 3***
August 17, 2019 | one4review
Sam Morrison is a young New York comic who has brought this show to Edinburgh to both entertain and in a lot of cases educate his audience about the trials and tribulations as being a closet gay in a small … Read More
Garrett Millerick:- Smile 4***
August 17, 2019 | one4review
Sunflower, the 2018 show by Garrett Millerick swiftly became a popular and critically acclaimed success, partly due to the sad bit, that being his wife and her near brush with death. But he has a problem this year, no potential … Read More
