MC Hammersmith: 1 Man 8 Mile (2021)

This show began as a cautionery tale of not booking a Fringe show based solely on its name, but ended in a thoroughly enjoyable hour of entertainment. Over the last few years the Fringe has played host to a number... Continue Reading →

Tim Minchin: ‘Apart Together’ Album Launch (2020)

"Hey, would you guys like to watch Tim Minchin's new Album Launch Live tonight?"... It's the kind of rhetorical email question that deserves an intensely sarcastic response. "Tim Minchin you say? You mean that incredible musical clown who has created... Continue Reading →

Hattie Snooks: The Geek Shall Inherit the Earth (2020)

Last year's Flo & Joan show was great... This was better. Packing in to the sold out Piccolo tent I had a feeling that something had changed. I've seen these clowns perform live twice before and on both occasions they... 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 →

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 →
