Clownster Comedy

So, yes, this is another comedy review site (like Chortle… only less professional, exhaustive or well written) but these are just my opinions so hardly deserve gospel status. I have been watching live comedy for around 15 years and I have to say that I 100% admire anyone who has the guts to take to a spot lit stage in front of an unknown crowd armed with just a microphone and their wits. It’s a profession that I know I could not do and for that I doff my tiny bowler hat to them.

Tom Rosenthal: Manhood (2019)

Since Tom Rosenthal last appeared at the Fringe this clown really has gone from strength to strength - TV shows like Plebs and Friday Night Dinner have pretty much made him a household name and I can see his acting... Continue Reading →

Daniel Audritt: Better Man (2019)

Every day at the Fringe that includes a trip to Just the Tonic at the Caves is a good day. For my money this is the best venue bar at the fringe and I have wasted many a happy hour... Continue Reading →

Baba Brinkman: Rap Guide to Culture (2019)

Okay, so as some of you may have already noticed - this man is not a clown. But back in 2008 I was drinking in a bar trying to work out what fringe show I wanted to see next when... Continue Reading →

Yuriko Kotani: Somosomo (2019)

Earlier this year I was lucky enough to be invited to the Setouchi Triennale Art season in Japan. After a week exploring the islands of the Seto inland sea we were due a night in Tokyo before flying home. I... Continue Reading →

Guy Montgomery: I was part of the problem before we were talking about it (2019)

Us seeing this show was purely down to fate and chance. We had a window of time to kill and (unsurprisingly) whilst we were pontificating we were hit with a series of flyers for that time. As is often the... Continue Reading →

Ciaran Dowd: Padre Rodolfo (2019)

"Your entrance was good, his was better. The difference... showmanship". I am not sure if Ciaran Dowd was paying attention when Jim Carrey's Riddler first said this but boy has he nailed it. Last year Don Rodolfo proved to be... Continue Reading →

Stewart Francis: Into the Punset (2019)

As this was my first show of this year's fringe I wanted to start with a safe pair of hands... Usually when someone says that they mean "middle of the road" or "solid" but when it comes to comedy this... Continue Reading →

Only Fools and Horses: The Musical (2019)

I wasn't going to write this up... I never actually planned to see the show... This is someone else trying to do Only Fools and Horses!... Someone else playing Del boy!... I genuinely can't think of a bigger set of... Continue Reading →

Emily Atack: Talk Thirty to Me (2019)

It's always interesting when an actor or TV personality announce that they are 'having a go' at stand-up. I have seen a few over the years and from Richard Bacon (frankly embarrassing) to Kirsten O'Brien (genuinely likable) the results have... Continue Reading →
