Ziwe : Ziwe’s America 4****
August 22, 2025 | one4review
Ziwe is an American comedian and writer known for her satirical commentary on politics, race relations and young adulthood. As host of A24 late night variety sketch show and with a world wide audience via the internet, this is a … Read More
Kathy Maniura: The Cycling Man 4****
August 6, 2025 | one4review
The only negative in this show is the set up of the room: you can’t see all of the screen from everywhere. The screen isn’t a huge part of the show, however, and where it is used, it’s used – … Read More
Lorna Rose Treen: 24 Hour Diner People 4****
August 6, 2025 | one4review
Lorna Rose Treen seems like she’s having a really good time performing this show, and it’s quite infectious. Though she pulls in members of the audience to – almost literally – be her stooges – the only reason these characters … Read More
Sam Jay: We the People 3.5***
August 3, 2025 | one4review
Sam Jay wanders on stage with no announcement and no fanfare. At the end, Sam ponders off to the edge of the stage to say bye as we leave. In between happens a show that starts in pretty bleak despair … Read More
Thanyia Moore: August 5*****
August 3, 2025 | one4review
The wealth and strength of experience shine through in this show: Thanyia tells us she’d been doing stand up for ten years before she first came to the Fringe, and we’ve added another three years to that, through which I … Read More
Sam Nicoresti: Baby Doomer 5*****
August 2, 2025 | one4review
It would be interesting to know the relative words per minute of Sam Nicoresti versus other comedians. I’m pretty sure Sam would win. After one of the best openings of show I’ve seen, this is, as Sam describes, fifty minutes … Read More
Bella Hull: Piggie 4.5****
August 16, 2024 | one4review
Bella Hull elicits more involuntary noises and facial expressions from an audience than I have experienced in a long time; not all laughter (though plenty of that), and pretty much continuous through the show. Her own facial expressions and body … Read More
Emma Holland 4****
August 7, 2024 | one4review
I received an extra content warning email a bit before the show, and while some of Emma Holland’s material did poke at the limits of what some might find funny in a spirit of fun and subversion, it’s nothing like … Read More
Zoe Brownstone: A Bite Of Yours 3***
August 4, 2024 | one4review
Zoe Brownstone is a self-described hopeless romantic, having grown-up in the 90s golden age of rom-coms, and she’s been searching for her own happy ending. Technically solid and well delivered, this show would perhaps benefit from a bit of refinement … Read More
Tamsyn Kelly: Crying in TK Maxx 4****
August 26, 2023 | one4review
What starts out feeling like a medley of best bits from ten-minute club sets quietly morphs into a long-form narrative with diverting side-quests. It works well: Ms Kelly eases herself into the show with skills she can probably exercise in … Read More
