When Trolls Try to Eat Your Goldfish – 4****
August 23, 2019 | one4reviewDommy B is a storyteller, and although you can buy a number of his books, including this tale, it is well worth experiencing him live.

Kate Smurthwaite: Bitch 3.5***
August 15, 2019 | one4reviewMs Smurthwaite returns for her 15th Fringe with a vibrant show about ignoring the haters and embracing the ‘bitch’ epithet so many internet-people seem to think it’s okay to throw at her. As we’re taking our seats, we’re treated to … Read More
Eleanor Tiernan – Enjoying the Spotlight Responsibly 4****
August 13, 2019 | one4reviewEleanor Tiernan is a self confessed cranky gen Xer who has definitely found her audience. The show was sold out and there was a real warmth for her in the room. She opens by empathizing with the audience’s experience of … Read More

Susan Murray: How Not To Die In A Plane Crash 3*** and a half
August 4, 2019 | one4reviewI learned things in this show, fascinating things, and I laughed. Excellent, job done!

Peter Brush: Present. Tense. 3***
August 4, 2019 | one4reviewThe most awkward thing about this show was the bucket speech, which Mr Brush clearly doesn’t enjoy. Despite the blurb and the title, this isn’t comedy that will make you cringe. Mr Brush’s foray into improv based on audience suggestion … Read More
A Political Breakfast – 3***
August 24, 2018 | one4reviewHost Chris O’Neill introduces us to the panel who will be debating the issues of the day, despite how very early, in Fringe time, in the day it is. The hour doesn’t stop the room being full, with further people … Read More
