Edinburgh Fringe review: Axis Of Awesome, Vida Loca Las Vegas

Edinburgh Fringe review: Axis Of Awesome, Vida Loca Las Vegas

Aussie musical trio Axis Of Awesome are full blown YouTube stars and they make no pretenses about where a good chunk of their audience is coming from - but their consistently excellent live shows have earned them a following away from the web.…

Edinburgh Fringe review: Tom Deacon, Get Your Deac-on!

Edinburgh Fringe review: Tom Deacon, Get Your Deac-on!

Tom Deacon, not long back from a presenting gig at the World Cup in Brazil, has pulled in a good crowd, in a good room in a good, centrally-located venue. It all sounds good: and good is exactly how it turned out.…

Edinburgh Fringe review: Tom Allen, Life/Style

Edinburgh Fringe review: Tom Allen, Life/Style

For the avoidance of doubt, the show is about Tom Allen. His life. His style. He’s a gay man. He’s a camp comedian. He’s hugely funny. Deal with it. …

Edinburgh Fringe review: Ed Gamble, Gambletron 5000

Edinburgh Fringe review: Ed Gamble, Gambletron 5000

Ed Gamble is a very funny man, something that becomes obvious about five minutes into his extremely lively show when a girl sitting on a tall bench at the back of the venue laughs so hard at one of his jokes that she actually falls off her seat. Now that’s comedy.…

Edinburgh Fringe review: I Killed Rasputin

Like legendary Russian mystic Grigori Rasputin, Richard Herring’s sixth foray into theatre is an enigmatic beast. …

Lucy Beaumont’s on stage persona is a perfectly studied parody of a slightly airheaded Hull woman. At least, we assume it’s a parody. If she’s really as airheaded and easily confused as her persona suggests it would fairly hard to get to this stage…or any stage, for that matter.…

Edinburgh Fringe review: Carl Hutchinson, Here’s Me Show

Edinburgh Fringe review: Carl Hutchinson, Here’s Me Show

Carl Hutchinson doesn’t tend to get on well with people, a trait he’s exploited in the past to good comic effect. Last year’s show All The Rage detailed his various run ins with members of the public, including those evil people who insist on fully reclining their airline seats. …

Edinburgh Fringe review: Katie Mulgrew, Happily Ever After

Edinburgh Fringe review: Katie Mulgrew, Happily Ever After

If the title of Katie Mulgrew’s show didn’t give you enough of a clue as to its theme, she underlines it by bounding onto stage with dyed, bright red hair, a Little Mermaid t-shirt, green leggings and a tiara. If you don’t like Disney films, it might be a good idea to run away now.…

Edinburgh Fringe review: Tony Law, Enter The Tonezone

Edinburgh Fringe review: Tony Law, Enter The Tonezone

The fact that Tony Law - cultivator of the ridiculous, master of the non-sequitur - has admitted things have gone off the boil a bit, should go some way to describing how bizarre and shambolic his set at The Stand tonight really is.…
