Edinburgh Fringe review: Tom Stade, Decisions, Decisions

Edinburgh Fringe review: Tom Stade, Decisions, Decisions

Anybody familiar with Tom Stade’s trademark blazer, slick hair and designer stubble may be shocked by the unkempt, long curly-haired, and bearded look he is going for with 2014’s Decisions, Decisions.

Edinburgh Fringe review: Justin Moorhouse, This Is What I Am

Kids, eh? Northern comedian Justin Moorhouse has got two of ’em, and he’s not shy when it comes to telling the truth about what it means to be a parent.

Probably best known for her regular appearances on Radio 4’s The News Quiz, Susan Calman attempts to break stereotypes immediately by taking the stage to Greenday’s Basket Case.

Edinburgh Fringe review: The Beta Males Sessions, Richard And The Storybeast

Fringe regulars The Beta Males are love bombing Edinburgh this year. The four man troupe star in Happenstance at the Pleasance on an evening, while they’ve split into duos for afternoon shows. Both duos, incidentally, claim to contain the two best ones.

Edinburgh Fringe review: Micky Cochrane, What The Fudge?

Edinburgh Fringe review: Micky Cochrane, What The Fudge?

Playing to a small audience in an intimate venue, Micky Cochrane dispenses with the formalities as he dances around the stage in his own trance, hinting at the fact that this may not be a run-of-the-mill comedy show.

Edinburgh Fringe review: Des Bishop, Made In China

Edinburgh Fringe review: Des Bishop, Made In China

Des Bishop: Made In China seems like an odd show title for a comedian born in New York and educated in Ireland – until Bishop explains that he has spent the last 18 months living, performing, working and learning in China with an adoptive Chinese family.

Edinburgh Fringe review: Fern Brady & Peter Brush

Edinburgh Fringe review: Fern Brady & Peter Brush

Splitting a bill two or three ways at the Fringe is something of a rite of passage for developing comedians. It’s ideal for those who’ve earned some traction but don’t yet have the profile (or material) for a solo hour.
