Alasdair Beckett-King: The Alasdair Beckett-King Mysteries 4****
August 21, 2017 | one4reviewIt 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 | one4reviewIf 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

Stephen Bailey – Can’t Think Straight 5*****
August 20, 2017 | one4reviewIt 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 | one4reviewThere 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
