Our Most Popular Comedy Shows Of 2025

Hello all! We used to do this annual wrap-up exclusively on Twitter, but this year we made the decision to step away from the platform. And yes, despite it being a pretty solid traffic generator for us, it’s also become... Continue Reading →

Operation Mincemeat (2025)

We’re going a little out of our comfort zone today. We haven’t really reviewed actual theatre comedy since The Unfriend starring Lee Mack, but hey – what is life without challenges? It all began on New Year’s Eve… eve. That... Continue Reading →

Mixed Bill: Russell Hicks @ The Castle (2025)

I know, I know – we weren’t supposed to be back here yet. We literally said in our last Castle comedy review that we’d return in December. But here’s what happened… It snowed. It frickin’ snowed. AND we’d spent the... Continue Reading →

Lou Wall: Breaking The Fifth Wall (2025)

So, we enter the Monkey Barrel and an Ich Luger Dragon appears behind the bar and explains that they only sell fire water – an oxymoron if ever we heard one - but she takes us to the wonkavator that... Continue Reading →

Mark Thomas: WD40 (2025)

Police Cops: The Original (2025)

Well, this is an absolute treat. We’re sat under the tarpaulin roof of The Unicorn Bar, drinks in hand, sunshine streaming through, and it’s the last day of this year’s Edinburgh Fringe. But that lovely scene isn’t the treat I’m... Continue Reading →

Ivo Graham: Orange Crush (2025)

We’d fled the chaos of Pleasance Courtyard — not far, just down the hill to The Holyrood 9A and its frankly ridiculous gin selection (Rock Rose and Isle of Harris topped our highly scientific taste test, if you’re keeping score).... Continue Reading →

Pierre Novellie: You Sit There, I’ll Stand Here (2025)

Our evening started with chaos: a cab that never turned up, a failed attempt to leg it across town, and, for the first time ever, a missed Fringe show. The silver lining? It gave us plenty of time to get... Continue Reading →
