Helen Duff: When the Going Gets Duff 4****
August 21, 2017 | one4review
Ms Duff is effervescent. There is no more appropriate word to describe her. Her mind, as she says, does seem to work considerably faster than her mouth, and that doesn’t go slow. She fizzes around the stage, distracted by the … Read More
Alasdair Beckett-King: The Alasdair Beckett-King Mysteries 4****
August 21, 2017 | one4review
It is necessary to understand the distinction between stand-up comedy (in which heckling may be appropriate) and a comedy show, in which you should not speak unless spoken to. It often flusters performers who are not stand-ups, and that ruins … Read More
Goose: Amphetawaltz 5*****
August 21, 2017 | one4review
If you haven’t seen Goose, whyever not? It’s an amazingly fun, ridiculous hour of absurd premises and tenuous links exploring the nature of context and misdirection. The single weak section of the show which nearly lost them a star became … Read More
Ashley Storrie – Morning Glory 4****
August 21, 2017 | one4review
Ashley Storrie as I’m sure almost everyone will know, is the daughter of Glaswegian comedy superstar Janey Godley, yet while there are similarities she is definitely her own woman. Not wanting to pay for intro music, Ashley is on stage … Read More
Mark Watson Festival Of Bad Ideas 2**
August 20, 2017 | one4review
Mark swipes through his book of contacts to bring us his chosen guests. If his intention was to experiment, to go all avant garde on us, it worked tonight. We got Sanderson Jones. He of those annoying TV Bingo … Read More
Gary Delaney – There’s Something About Gary 4****
August 20, 2017 | one4review
As the audience settle into their seats, we are treated to a number of screen shots of Gary’s hilarious tweets, via a large slide show. This is a good indication of the way the show will go and the pace … Read More
Fat Rascal Theatre: Buzz: A New Musical, 4 stars ****
August 20, 2017 | one4review
This award-winning show promises to guide us through the history of the vibrator and whilst it does indeed do that, it comes across more simply as a story about relationships. But it does this very well, it is very slick … Read More
Stephen Bailey – Can’t Think Straight 5*****
August 20, 2017 | one4review
It was back in 2014 when I first saw Stephen Bailey and back then he showed a lot of potential. His next show was even better, and now with his 2017 that potential has been fully realised. Bailey is camp, … Read More
Lauren Pattison – Lady Muck 4****
August 20, 2017 | one4review
There is definitely a new kid on the Edinburgh block and that is Lauren Pattison, who has been getting sold out shows and critical acclaim in almost equal measures. Not too shabby for her debut hour! The lights dim and … Read More
Ingrid Oliver – Speech! 4****
August 19, 2017 | one4review
Doing character based sketch comedy is in my opinion a two edged sword. Get it right and it is amazing. Get it wrong then carnage can and often does happen. Ingrid Oliver has always been in the get it right … Read More
