Edinburgh Fringe review: The Worst of Late Night Gimp Fight

Late Night Gimp Fight bring an all killer-no filler show of their favourite sketches for a short run at this year’s festival. This is must-see sketch brilliance.

Edinburgh Fringe review: Phil Mann, Not Funny Haha

Spending an hour in the surreal company of Phil Mann was a wonderfully weird and intimate experience.

Edinburgh Fringe review: Maddy Carrick in Maddy’s Carrickters

Edinburgh Fringe review: Maddy Carrick in Maddy’s Carrickters

Cramped into a tiny sweatbox loft venue, Maddy Carrick fights the intense heat with boundless energy and unchecked levels of charisma.

Edinburgh Fringe review: Neil Hamburger

Edinburgh Fringe review: Neil Hamburger

Neil Hamburger is one of a kind. He’s a must see for any comedy nerds for his imitable demeanor and delivery.

Edinburgh Fringe review: Kwame Asante, Basket Case

Edinburgh Fringe review: Kwame Asante, Basket Case

The flyer, a photo of a super cute toddler kneeling in a basket, makes sense of the show’s title. 20 plus years on and Kwame Asante is 6.3 and built accordingly. If first impressions count for anything he’s got a great young look and good stage presence.

Edinburgh Fringe review: Jessie Cave + Emer Kenny, Grawlix

Edinburgh Fringe review: Jessie Cave + Emer Kenny, Grawlix

As starts go it wasn’t the most propitious. Jessie Cave announced that Emer Kenny hadn’t made it to the Fringe and her own solo show was a work-in-progress.

Edinburgh Fringe review: Romesh Ranganathan, Rom Wasn’t Built In A Day

Romesh Ranganathan is highly tipped for big things this year, especially with an Edinburgh award nomination in the bag. This year’s venue was obviously booked before Ranganthan had become a regular on Mock The Week, as he has sold out his 100-capacity space until the end of the festival.

Edinburgh Fringe review: Holly Walsh, Never Had It

Edinburgh Fringe review: Holly Walsh, Never Had It

Never Had It is a show about that indefinable quality that all charismatic individuals seem to display with ease, and Holly Walsh opens the show with a PowerPoint showing leaders like Obama and Diana who certainly have “it”, along with those in the public eye who don’t.
