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 →

John Robertson: The Dark Room (2025)

“Ya die! Ya die! Ya die! YA DIE!” Normally, if hundreds of people are screaming this at you while pointing accusingly, you’ve had a very bad night. But in The Dark Room, the rules are gloriously different. As the lights go... Continue Reading →

FRAT: Namesake Theatre (2025)

Today, in the ongoing battle between man and food… both won! Strange opening for a comedy theatre review, but we’re back at Brighton Fringe and, as regular readers know, we like to cover the full experience – and for that,... Continue Reading →

Juliet Cowan: F*ck Off and Leave Me Alone (2024)

Way back in the mid-1990s, there was a TV series that I truly adored. It was cool, ground-breaking, and gave teenage me an insight into a world I was only just beginning to realise existed. It was called This Life,... Continue Reading →

Gary Tank Commander: Gary Talks [Yous Listen] (2023)

A few years ago, I was re-watching Fresh Meat, for probably the third time, and I came to the realisation that of all the great characters and actors within the show (Zawe Ashton, Charlotte Ritchie, Joe Thomas etc), Howard, the... Continue Reading →

Gail Porter: Hung, Drawn & Portered (2023)

When we first received this year’s Fringe program I started flicking through the pages and this show screamed out at me. Gail Porter was the Michaela Strachan or Lauren Layfield of my generation, a kid’s TV presenter that you always... Continue Reading →

Nick Mohammed: A Christmas Carol-ish… by Mr Swallow (2022) 

It’s a strange feeling to be truly gutted that a clown has had to cancel their Fringe run due to other commitments. Whilst also being genuinely dead chuffed that those ‘other commitments’ have led to back-to-back Emmy Nominations for one... Continue Reading →
