Edinburgh Fringe review: James Christopher, Partially Sighted In All The Big Venues
Like. Lol. Smiley face. Whatever else indicates a thoroughly enjoyable and funny experience. Thank you, Mr James Christopher of York, England, for making the annual pilgrimage to Edinburgh and for making me laugh, repeatedly.
Edinburgh Fringe review: Tiffany Stevenson, Optimist
Tiffany Stevenson looks rather angelic with her blonde hair and shimmering blue-green dress, but the minute she opens her mouth you realise that she’s just the opposite. She’s a brash, complex, unhinged demon woman, and she knows it.
Edinburgh Fringe review: Lloyd Langford, Old Fashioned
Lloyd Langford’s monotone delivery combined with his own admittance of being “a bit old fashioned” gives the impression that he must be a bit of a grump. That’s somewhat true, but thankfully for his audience, he is a very funny and likeable one.
Edinburgh Fringe review: Patrick Monahan, Adventures In Monahan Land
It’s impossible not to like Patrick Monahan. The lively, witty Irish/Iranian/Teesside comic is so friendly that his entire set feels a bit like it’s taking place in his living room over a pint of Newcastle Brown Ale and some traditional Persian snacks.
Edinburgh Fringe review: Robert Newman’s New Theory Of Evolution
Robert Newman is an incredibly clever man, and that’s clear within minutes of this show starting.
Edinburgh Fringe review: Brendon Burns And Colt Cabana
During the show, amidst one of the many moments of hilarious, sidetracked banter between the hosts, Brendon Burns notes to the audience, “This mess is unreviewable.”
Edinburgh Fringe review: James Acaster, Recognise
James Acaster cuts a curious figure on stage at the Cabaret Bar. Dressed in a green jacket and burgundy trousers, accompanied by his signature ginger mop, he begins the show on his knees.
Edinburgh Fringe review: Gary Little, The Thing Is
Glaswegian Gary Little is a funny man. He embodies all that is great about Glasgow patter and the city’s unique sense of humour.
