Hannah Fairweather: Just a Normal Girl Who Enjoys Revenge 3***

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 ***

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***

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

Garrett Millerick:- Smile 4***

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

Ian Lane: Paperweight 3***

This show contains loads of Mr Lane’s trademark off-kilter visual humour, accompanied by his wry story-telling, and it definitely tickled parts of the audience. But overall, the show might benefit from tightening up so that everything is more secure, there’s … Read More

Steve Bugeja: Single Mum 4****

After 3 successful Fringe shows relating true, personal stories and gathering both audiences and critical acclaim, Steve last year had to make something up, another good show, but the breakup he talked about came true.

Not taking a chance of … Read More
