Mr Swallow and the Vanishing Elephant (2018)

This performer has become an absolute must see for me over the last few years. As soon as I discovered he was bringing his ever-increasing bag of trick to this year’s Fringe the tickets were bought. Nick Mohammed’s character “Mr... Continue Reading →

Larry Dean: Bampot (2018)

How was this show just a fiver? At this years Fringe Larry Dean had to not only deal with the break-up of his relationship but also face the fact that every single one of his audience members this year would... Continue Reading →
